Ingredients

• 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)

Directions

Step 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.

Step 2

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

Step 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.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 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).

Step 7

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

Step 8

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