Ingredients
4 smoked sausages (any variety you prefer)
1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)
1 tablespoon olive oil (for grilling)
Optional toppings: chopped onions, fresh parsley, or extra BBQ sauce for drizzling
Instructions
Preheat your smoker to 225°F. Lightly brush the sausages with olive oil to prevent sticking and place them directly on the smoker rack. Smoke the sausages for 2-3 hours, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F. During the last 15 minutes of smoking, brush the sausages with BBQ sauce and let them finish cooking with a glaze. Once done, remove the sausages from the smoker and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing or serving whole. Optional: Garnish with chopped onions or fresh parsley for extra flavor.
Notes
For best results, use sausages that are fully cooked to avoid undercooking. You can also smoke different varieties of sausage for a fun mix of flavors.
If you don’t have a smoker, you can achieve similar results on a grill using indirect heat.
FAQs
Can I use uncooked sausage? It’s best to use pre-cooked sausages, as they require less time on the smoker.
How can I make this recipe spicier? Add some hot sauce or chili flakes to your BBQ sauce for a spicy kick.
Can I bake these sausages instead? Yes, you can bake them in a preheated oven at 400°F for 20–25 minutes, brushing with BBQ sauce during the last 5 minutes.
