I like Kobasa Jalapeno Cheddar Beef sausage. Grilled and near end mop on Bone Sucking Sauce or whatever you like. First pic is at a fest and second is home.

I typically make a mix of mild and hot Italian sausages cooking indirect at 350 for about 20 minutes and finishing direct for 5 - 10 minutes to blacken them a bit. Is there any real gain to slower and longer cook for them?

Unless you are talking about pre-cooked, pre-smoked, and/or cured sausage, you are getting into a very complicated topic. I'm just getting into learning about making sausage and hot smoking and cold smoking and all that.
But I assume you mean the kind you buy at the store? Depends on the area you live. Kielbasa is good as is italian sausage, but my favorite is any kind that has venison in it. And cheese. And jalapenos.

i'm talking about uncooked sausages (links in a casing) that I get at an Italian Deli.

Try several different types to see what you like ... it's easy to just buy a link or two of each. You'll soon know what you like best!Never eat anything passed through a window unless you're a seagull ... BGE Lg.

I started smoking venison, italian, etc sausage this summer. I usually would smoke at about 275 indirect for about an hour with a drip pan full of water. Then I would take out the place setter and grill for a few minutes at 350 to char the outside a little. Turned out great but you need to be careful to avoid drying them out.

Do you need to pierce the casing to avoid splitting it or does cooking it at a lower temp keep this from happening?
-
I cook them direct (no plate setter) but put them around the edge of my XL with lump reducer in so I guess they are "indirect" in a sense. Flip often so they don't split. Don't pierce the skin. If the sausage is splitting open, you aren't cooking them correctly.Packerland, Wisconsin

@the butcher: never cook a sausage over 160. meat can't go dry, even very lean meat, unless it is overcooked.
yep, if i am serving guests, i will take the temp of even a 'lowly' sausage
