Serves 8 🍷 Wine Pairings 🥗 Side Dishes

Ingredients

Pork sausages
4 pounds
BBQ rub
1/4 cup
BBQ sauce
1 cup
Water
as needed for the smoker
Wood chips for smoking
2 cups (hickory or applewood recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C) and add the wood chips to the smoker box.
  2. While the smoker is heating up, thoroughly coat the pork sausages with the BBQ rub, ensuring an even distribution of flavor.
  3. Once the smoker is ready, place the sausages on the grates, ensuring they are not touching, and close the lid.
  4. Smoke the sausages for about 3 hours, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), using a meat thermometer to check the temperature.
  5. During the last 30 minutes of smoking, baste the sausages generously with BBQ sauce to create a sticky, flavorful glaze.
  6. Remove the sausages from the smoker and let them rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
  7. Serve the smoked sausages with additional BBQ sauce on the side for dipping.

Tips

  • 💡 For added flavor, try experimenting with different wood chips, such as mesquite or cherry, to enhance the smokiness.
  • 💡 If you prefer spicier sausages, consider adding cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the BBQ rub.
