I couldn't tell you. I use the A-Maze-N Pellet Smoker (AMNPS) with wood pellets. It produces perfect smoke as long as it stays lit.
I'm not sure how smokey you want your sausage but the key to any smoking is to produce Thin Blue Smoke (TBS) for as long as you are desiring. I smoke pork franks and it only calls for 30min to 1 hour of smoke during the entire cook.
I apply smoke my ground Venison Pastrami loaves a minimum of 5 hours during the entire cook.

Did you properly mix the meat to for a paste? Improper mixing will cause fat out, loss of moisture, and a grainy product. Did you use any binders?

Not sure what size sticks you are using but I use 17mm and I can hang them from the mes rack. Works great.
