smoked sausage help

I bought some raw coil sausage from my local butcher. I have not found any low and slow recipes. I am trying to achieve something similar to a sausage sandwich like from a KC BBQ establishment. What are some suggestions for putting a rub on them and also how to get a smoke ring through the natural casing on the sausage. I am planning on cooking it Sunday and will post pics later.

If it is truly RAW and does not contain a curing agent you should poach it then grill/smoke it.You should NEVER smoke raw sausages that are not made with a cure.The cure inhibits bacteria while the sausage is slowly smoking at low heat danger zone enviroment.

Brisket30, when you say KC BBQ establishment, are you referring to Gates? If so, I have also wanted to duplicate their sausage as well. I lived in KC for over 15 years and loved their sausage. From what I recall, it was done without casing. I never think of while I am at the store buying the goods for my cooks. But, I plan on taking sausage and forming a roll, maybe with a binder to help hold it together. Then smoking it indirect on the grid. This process came to mind when I started doing my meatloafs on the grid vs. in a loaf pan. This should get you close to Gates sausage.

sounds like a fatty....do a search for fatty
and that may help. -
I have recently moved from KC to NW IA and although Gates is good, my all time favorite is Jack Stack. The smoked sausage sandwhich I am trying to duplicate is from Arthur Bryant's.

I will ask my butcher if it contains cure or not. That is really good advice, thanks a lot. I know when I asked him about it all he said was its raw and must be cooked.

this was fresh keilbasi, skin removed smoked around 250/275 raised grid direct. i just skinned and rolled it. havent been happy with sausage smoked at those temp with the skin on, it shrinks and puckers unless i go hotter. the really low cook temps 140/160 get an ice water bath as they come up to temp to prevent that and then they go back on a hot grill laterfukahwee maineyou can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it

The coil sausage does NOT containt cure. I think I will poach it in some Beer tonight, let it cool in the fridge until Saturday then low and slow on Sunday.
What internal temp? 160?
