Instructions

Preheat the grill: Set your grill to medium-low heat (around 300-350°F).
Grill the sausage: Place the sausages on the grill with even spacing for air flow.
Cook time: Depending on the size of the sausages, grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until heated through and the internal temperature with a probe meat thermometer reaches 160°F.
Rest and serve: Let the sausage rest briefly before slicing and serving.

Notes

Cooking Utensils: To prevent juices from escaping, turn the sausages with tongs instead of a fork for maximum flavor and juiciness.
Grilling Tip: Try a two-zone method: Indirect heat will cook sausages evenly. To set up two zones on a grill, heat half of it to medium-low and the other half to a higher temperature. Begin with the low zone and finish the sausages on the high zone for a nice char.
