i mixed up 8# of gator sausage (fresh). Planned on grilling it. I am smoking a beef roast also and thought I might put a few patties in to cook in the smoker. Is this ok? Don't want a smoked sausage per se, just a smoke cooked patty (in smoker at 225-250). Maybe cook on grill and stick in smoker for 10 min for some smoke flavor??
