I just bought an electric smoker and tried smoking johnsonville brats on it. In order to get smoke, I had to set the heat to med. high, which brought the temp to about 220 F. I left the brats on there for about 2 1/2 hours.

What a mess. The brats dripped grease and tasted 'pasty'. Like elmers glue. Did I smoke too hot? Too long? I heard meat has to be cooked at least 260 deg. F for 1 hour.
 
You can hot smoke the brats at 180 degrees, This will allow the sausage to get smoke and stay within the 40 to 140 in 4hr rule. All fresh sausage needs to reach an internal temp of 160 degrees. You probably over cooked them
