Title: store bought Hot italian sausage smoked!
Post by: 40 caliber on November 04, 2017, 12:36:13 PM
This one is so easy it's silly.
1. buy hot italian sausage at the grocery store.
2. start the smoker , 250 heat with 190 internal temp probed
3. Use whatever wood you want. i have tried, hickory, cherry and Maple all were good but I go to maple.
3. wait 90 minutes or so and your sausages are done!

i have tried to add rub but it actually worked against them. It is so good, so easy and quick!  everyone that has tried them loves them. I just smoked turkey sausage and OMG, they are better than a standard sausage. give it a shot and let me know.
the turkey ones are in the front of the pic

I use a 3D by the way.

Hey dave, i was thinking cut them up in slices with cheese and crackers would also work well for an app!

Yep, that’s how I do it. They are great warm or cold.

They look really good. I smoked some fresh jalapeno cheddar sausages a few weeks ago and they were fantastic. Far superior to cooking them on the grill or in the oven. Thinking of smoking some andouille next week for use in a pot of gumbo.

store bought jalapeno/cheddar? what kind?


I actually smoked some kielbasa and sweet sausage but they did not compare to the hot italian sausage!

No they were made by a small butcher in South Georgia and given to me by his aunt. They have a pretty good kick (heat) and are really good. She usually buys me some a couple of times a year.

Did these last night with some hot italian sausages made by my local grocery store. I was worried that 190 was too high to cook them, but they were terrific. 2 oz of wood seemed to work well; I used hickory, and will try cherry or maple next. If you are looking for a quick, prep free smoke, this is a good one. Thanks for posting.

Thanks , i just stumbled on it.  i use closer to 7 ounces but i have a 3D and i like how it comes out. I am glad you like it! it only takes 90 minutes to do andthere is no prep. I also make these with Ribs. I just pulled them at 90 and close the door and let the ribs do their stuff!
