New to sausage qustion

[orthodoc]

I am not a sausage eater, but I want to serve some at a BBQ fest for a bunch of guys...
I have a Yoder pellet grill.

What type of sausage do you suggest serving to go alongside Texas-style brisket, and how long/what temp do I smoke at?
Thanks

Do you want to make your own sausages or are you planning to smoke store bought sausage?

Store bought

I would purchase Johnsonville Bratwurst... they make several flavors....
How to cook...
Simmer the sausage in a mix of 1/2 beer and 1/2 water... add onions, garlic and what ever to the liquid...
Fully cook the sausage in the liquid at +/- 180 F...... Then put them on the Yoder to brown up... then they can go back in the liquid to keep warm....

Use lots of onions in the mix.... they are great added to the sausage on a bun...

Do what Dave says. They will be a hit. You might also consider some good quality sauerkraut for a topping.

Try some hot Itialian sausage.

simmer sliced onions and peppers in butter until soft.

place cooked sausage on a buttered hard roll, cover with the onions and peppers.

goes great with brisket.

Salt potatoes as a side dish.

For hors d'oeuvres, I've always liked doing some Italian Sausages on the grill, Slice into bite size, stick in a toothpick, and serve hot. Hot and mild.
They always disappear.

Like Dave, I usually look for Johnsonville. Never got a bad sausage from them.

I go simple, especially for guys. Gals like them too.

we use sausage for appetizers a lot, mostly Italian or hot Italian, bbq, sliced and eater can dip in mustard with a toothpick, or eat plain. seems to be a crowd pleaser. I also like Jap and cheese. sliced the same way but no mustard. This is how I slice them. Nothing fancy. This is the jap and cheese.

As said there are so many sausages out there its all according to the flavor your looking for and don't forget kielbasa.

Nothing against Johnsonville, but I wouldn't hesitate to try some of the sausages made in your local supermarket.

Some are very, very good.

Ask for the butcher and see if he will put together a sample package of 5 or so links.

You might be surprised.

I go to Liehs and Steigerwald whenever I'm in Syracuse. great sausage.
