    Smoking Sausage Question

    So I smoked some sausage for the first time and I thought the flavor was great. Im wondering if someone would give me some tips on how to make them crispy on the outside. I can think of some things to try as in grilling first or after the smoke but I figure there must be a prevailing theory.

    Grrr! Ive got to take my new Brinkmann verti back

    I bought the same smoker last week with the same problem. I returned it the same day and the new one was put together so that the locking mech wouldnt reach the latch point. Frustrating. I will come up with something later but for the first try I ended up jamming a piece of wood in the door...
