Preparation Steps
1
Let the sausages sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to ensure even cooking and prevent them from splitting during grilling.
2
In a small bowl, combine the BBQ spice rub, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and brown sugar. Thoroughly rub the mixture all over the sausages.
3
Preheat your smoker to 230°F (110°C). Distribute the charcoal or wood evenly in the smoker to ensure long and consistent smoking.
4
Place the sausages on the smoker rack and smoke them slowly for 60-90 minutes, until they are golden brown and have a sufficiently smoky flavor.
5
Lightly brush the sausages with apple cider vinegar to encourage slight caramelization and add a touch of extra acidity.
6
When the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), remove the sausages from the smoker and place them on a hot grill rack to sear for 2-3 minutes, creating a crispy skin.
7
Brush the sausages with BBQ sauce and grill for an additional minute to allow the sauce to caramelize slightly.
8
Remove the finished sausages from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving with fresh bread, pickles, or grilled vegetables.
