    Smoked wieners

    I love a good smoked bratwurst or Polish sausage. Is there anything I can do to make the smoke stick a little better? I usually coat the sausages with vegetable oil and put them on the hot grill right out of the refrigerator.

    One thing I've always thought about trying but haven't gotten around to yet is soaking them in smoked beer or Rauchbier as it's also known. That is a beer made with smoked malt barley. In my opinion they are crap for drinking but might impart some smoke flavor to the meat. Like I said I have not personally tried this, so if you happen to get around to this before I do I would be very interested in the results.

      I'm going to try this. I tasted a friend's recipe for beer brats using Alaskan Smoked Porter and it turned out really tasty. I agree that the smoked beers taste weird but they did wonders for the sausages. Thanks for the reminder!

    Cold moist meat attracts more smoke. You could spritz them like some do their ribs/pork butts etc. Or just smoke them with only logs.

      Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try spritzing with water. I also picked up some foil water pans so I can give that a try, too.

    I cut the casings off the bratwurst before I smoke it and it absorbs more of the smoke flavor.
