Hi Everyone,
I'm doing some brats and italian sausage for some friends today. Just doing them direct on a raised grid. Is their a recommended temp that I should be shooting for? Just want to make sure I don't get anyone sick.
Thanks,
- Danny

Danny, I would cook them to at least 165F internal.

Danny, I have put a link below that will be useful to you.
145° if precooked 165° (as Canugghead said) if raw.
Great eats...
When is the food done - Food Cooking Temperatures

Great, thanks guys! Saved the link also. Ended up getting them to about 180-190 to be on the safe side...but they were still pretty good. Thanks again.

hahaha! I have never checked the temp of a brat, Italian sausage, kielbasa, hamburger, hot dog, etc. in my life! Not ever. Light the lump, wait til it gets hot, add food. When it LOOKS done, it IS done.
Been doin' that for 40+ years. Ain't dead yet. :laugh:I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Glad to hear it. My dad was the same way. Just before he passed he said his demise was due to all that damn carrot juice he drank. 1 or 2 glasses every single day. He passed one or two days before his 100'th birthday.
I never took the temperature of sausage, braut's or dogs until I was reading some sausage related articles. Seems if you take the pork over 165° it will have a more tougher texture. If I am slicking pork I usually cook it to 145°.
