🥘 Ingredients

7 items

• 6 pieces Fresh sausage links (pork, chicken, or beef)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 cups Wood chips for smoking (hickory, applewood, or mesquite)

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Ensure the wood chips of your choice are loaded per your smoker’s instructions to produce a consistent smoke.

2. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, smoked paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to create a spice rub.

3. Pat the sausage links dry with a paper towel and lightly coat them with the spiced olive oil mixture. Make sure each sausage is evenly coated for enhanced flavor.

4. Place the sausages directly on the smoker grill grates, ensuring they are evenly spaced for optimal smoking.

5. Close the smoker lid and allow the sausages to smoke for 2 hours, maintaining a consistent temperature of 225°F (107°C).

6. Check the internal temperature of the sausages using a meat thermometer after 1.5 hours. The sausages are ready when their internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

7. Once fully cooked, remove the sausages from the smoker and let them rest for 5 minutes to seal in the juices.

8. Serve the smoked sausages hot with your favorite sides like coleslaw, potato salad, or roasted vegetables. Enjoy!
