I feel like a complete and total idiot that I have to ask but does anyone use the Masterbuilt Sausage Hanger with a Masterbuilt Electric Smoker? I can't figure out how this little thing attaches to any part of the rack or rails to hang sausage. It seems simple but it just doesn't fit anywhere I can see. It looks like the attached image.

I'm not familiar with that hanger but if it doesnt replace the top rack in the smoker could you lay it on top of the top rack for support with the hooks facing down

That was my thought. Here is a picture of why I'm so confused. The hooks don't fit through the grate and this attachment is maybe a quarter the size of the smoker width.

You will find wood dowels, with a flat spot on the ends, lay nicely across the top of the rack frames. There are lots of ideas if you search MES Mods...JJ
 
I am sorry I have no idea I’ve never used a smoker like that but still wanted to welcome you to SMF. Make sure you share some pics when you figure it out.
happy smoking!
 
Attach it from underneath that top rack with baling wire
Great idea. I know that will work. I was hoping it would attach to their product without any extra items. Oh well. At least I can get the lines off my smoked sausages.

I agree with the rack being in the horizontal position, so the hooks are vertical allowing you to hang rings of sausage. I've rigged up some pretty odd contraptions to smoke sausage, so think outside the box.

Did it come with the smoker or was it bought after the fact ??

As others said... ether wire it to the bottom of grate or get wood dowels (oak) cut to length to fit across and set it on top of the dowels
 
I use a dowel to hang my sausages. That sausage hanger that came with my Masterbuilt, I use it for laying the a-maze-n tube smoker on it. I put it in the bottom corner, the hanger helps keep the tube off the bottom and lets the air flow around it.

It's is quite small for a Sausage Hanger. It would be fine for snack sticks but 38-40mm Rings of Kielbasa would be touching...JJ
 
turn the rack 90 degrees from where you show it in your pic, so the hooks run in the same direction as the bars of the grate.
That did the trick! Man I feel like a dummy!!! Thank you everyone for a warm welcome. I'm definitely going to consider a dowel system. Cheap and easy.

This was a Christmas gift from my mother in law so I wanted to see what these could do.
 
I use dowels but your rake should work fine. Good luck and lets see some sausage pic's when you're done.

So it worked great. I didn't have enough space for all the sausages. Next stop for this is jambalaya.

I'll buy some dowles for next time though. That will buy me lots more space I think.
