I am not a sausage eater, but I want to serve some at a BBQ fest for a bunch of guys...
I have a Yoder pellet grill.

What type of sausage do you suggest serving to go alongside Texas-style brisket, and how long/what temp do I smoke at?
Thanks
 
Do you want to make your own sausages or are you planning to smoke store bought sausage?
 
I would purchase Johnsonville Bratwurst... they make several flavors....
How to cook...
Simmer the sausage in a mix of 1/2 beer and 1/2 water... add onions, garlic and what ever to the liquid...
Fully cook the sausage in the liquid at +/- 180 F...... Then put them on the Yoder to brown up... then they can go back in the liquid to keep warm....

Do what Dave says. They will be a hit. You might also consider some good quality sauerkraut for a topping.

Try some hot Itialian sausage.

simmer sliced onions and peppers in butter until soft.

place cooked sausage on a buttered hard roll, cover with the onions and peppers.

goes great with brisket.

Salt potatoes as a side dish.

For hors d'oeuvres, I've always liked doing some Italian Sausages on the grill, Slice into bite size, stick in a toothpick, and serve hot. Hot and mild.
They always disappear.

Like Dave, I usually look for Johnsonville. Never got a bad sausage from them.

I go simple, especially for guys. Gals like them too.
 
we use sausage for appetizers a lot, mostly Italian or hot Italian, bbq, sliced and eater can dip in mustard with a toothpick, or eat plain. seems to be a crowd pleaser. I also like Jap and cheese. sliced the same way but no mustard. This is how I slice them. Nothing fancy. This is the jap and cheese.

Nothing against Johnsonville, but I wouldn't hesitate to try some of the sausages made in your local supermarket.

Some are very, very good.

Ask for the butcher and see if he will put together a sample package of 5 or so links.

You might be surprised.

I go to Liehs and Steigerwald whenever I'm in Syracuse. great sausage.
