    You really need to be careful if you are trying to smoke fresh uncooked sausage. You can really get sick ie botulism if you don't know what you are doing. Too  long at low temps in the danger zone =not good.

    Most people either smoke pre-cooked sausage or grill fresh sausage.

    That being said, we went through a period of making our own sausage. Our favorite was venison jalepeno cheese.
    Nice looking sausages!  Wouldn't that apply to cooking a Butt or Brisket as well, too low temps = danger zone?  
    The sausages I did were raw, no problem with getting sick from them, just way too smokey, put me off them for now.

    Thank you @northGAcock that was 15 lbs of sausage smoked at 180F. Gonna have to look at my notes as I don't remember how long it took.

    Ground meat is more dangerous.

    My BIL brought up some crawfish and green onion andouille sausage from NOLA at our last shrimp boil. Smoked with pecan, they were awesome. If anyone is interested, the place he got these from will ship.

    I love smoked sausage.  How do you know if it's done without poking a hole in the casing with a Thermapen??  When you do doesn't it allow all the rendered fat to seep out?

    Anyone cook their sausage raised direct? I tend to burn these.

    This is what I purchase at Costco.
    It is beyond excellent. I grill them on the Egg on a low/medium heat. I am careful to cook them slow enough to prevent casing rupture.
    They are obviously not traditional sausages, however I've never had any Italian sausages that I like better.
