How long to smoke fresh kilbasi

[lemans]

I was given a fresh kilbasi for Easter. I don't want to put it in a pan with water.. yada yada yada.
I want to hot smoke it.. how do I do it?

What kind of smoker do you have?

Fresh kielbasa, aka White kielbasa, as in raw meat in a casing, is a simmer or grilling sausage. It is closer to a Brat than common kielbasa. I am a huge fan of fresh simmered with sauerkraut. Anywho, to answer your question, 225-250 for a couple hours will get you to 165. If it contains cure, some guys make one big batch with a cure then smoke some and simmer or grill the rest, you can smoke at lower 170 until the IT hits 150...JJ

What JJ said. If you don't know if it has cure or not go for the lower pit temp and hot smoke it.

I also like to cook in Kraut. I also like to serve with the Kraut mixed with sautéed apples and onions. Maybe add some dried cranberries. Brussel sprouts are a good alternative if you don't like Kraut.
