Ingredients
- 2-3 lbs of bratwurst (at least 10 links or so)
- 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil (or any oil of your preference)
- Hot dog buns/Kaiser or Semmel rolls/any bread of your choosing (optional)
Toppings:
- Sauerkraut
- Onions (peeled/diced/or thinly sliced)
- Condiments (honey mustard, ketchup, horseradish or any other condiment that you prefer)
Instructions
- Set up your smoker to the manufacturer’s specifications.
- You’re going to want to preheat your smoker to 275 to 300 degrees as the heat will help crisp up the sausage casings.
- Next, you’re going to want to add whatever wood you were planning on using at this point.
- Lightly brush the sausage casings on all sides with the olive oil or any oil of your preference.
- Arrange them on the rack of the smoker.
- Smoke the brats at your desired temperature until the casings are crispy and bronze and the meat is cooked through.
- This will take at least 30 to 45 minutes or insert the meat thermometer until it shows the meat has reached an internal temp of 160 degrees.
- Transfer the smoked brats to a bun, dish, or whatever other vessels you plan to eat them in or on.
- Serve the brats with your choice of toppings.
