    roee,
    Most times I cook sausages, I do them with peppers and onions...and I always use Jobu & Mrs. Jobu`s recipe, it is absolutely great....HTH[p]Wess

  • roee,I've done quite a bit of Italian sausage on the egg. The two easiest things to do on the egg; sausage and boneless, skinless chicken thighs. You almost can't screw them up. Cook the sausage indirect. The more smoke you want, the longer and lower you cook. I like to start a small fire, use apple wood, and let it slowly climb from 200 to 275 degrees and then hold it there. I probably let them go 3-4 hrs. I pretty much just take them off when they look great...there's usually a party and I never remember exactly how long. Once I smoked a couple batches over the top of three butts. That kept the family and early birds happy while basting the butts underneath.

    roee,[p]I cook Italian sausage a couple different ways:[p]1- Indirect heat: 300-325 degrees, until the internal tempurature reaches 165-180.[p]2- Direct heat: 450-500 degrees, flip sides at leat once, until internal tempurature reaches 165-180.[p]Commercial sausage contains A LOT of fat, so you usually don't have to worry about drying out the meat. I make my own homemade using an old family recipe, so I control the amount of fat content. In any case, be careful not to over cook sausage, otherwise you will have a nice grilled rope![p]-Tom
