- Always cut your smoke sausage into sausage sections of 3-4 inches and then cut in half again (like a butterfly). This makes for a correct serving of food.
- If you are using homemade sausages that are not precooked, do not attempt to butterfly the sausage.
- Breakfast sausage (loose sausage) can be grilled also, but you will need a grill pan or to pat into hamburger size patties so that they don’t slip through the grill grates.
- Oil the grill grates or oil the sausage (or both) to keep the sausage from sticking.
- Once you place the sausage on the grill, don’t turn a lot of toss around a lot. Allow it to sit so that char marks can develop.
- Leftover sausages can be stored in an airtight container and used for other dinner recipes during the week (great with pasta, mac and cheese and more!)
