smoking sausage, what temp and how long?

Today ill be smoking my first sausage.  I bought it from whole foods.  I was thinking about 250-275 for about 2 hours.  Does that sound accurate?  I plan on using apple wood.

My wife, who does not eat pork, prefers turkey sausage.  She does not like much smoke flavor.  Any options for cooking both at same time?  I may just put hers on the gasser.

    I just did some last night. Raised grill at 250 for about 40 minutes. They were juicy and delicious. Read about 190 on the thermapen so more than cooked enough.

    I think if you want to smoke for longer I would go at 200-225.

    Hope that helps!

    I cook them hotter, raised direct.  Maybe 20 - 30 minutes and they are browned and pick up some smoke flavor.  2 hours would seem like a lot  unless you want them really smokey, although it can depend upon what wood you are using. For example, 2 hrs with mesquite would be pretty strong, while an hour with peach would not be as intense.

    Gasser for the turkey is fine given the objectives.
