Ingredients
- 12 bratwursts
- 2 cups hickory wood chips soaked in water for 30 minutes
For Serving:
- Buns homemade or store-bought
- Spicy mustard
- Sauerkraut
- Grilled onions
Instructions
Preparing the Bratwursts
- Set your Masterbuilt smoker to 225°F. Add the soaked hickory wood chips to the smoker box.
- Poke a few holes in the brats with a fork. This helps the smoke penetrate better.
- Arrange the brats on the smoker grates, ensuring they are not touching each other. Close the lid.
Smoking the Bratwursts
- Smoke the brats for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F. Keep the smoker lid closed as much as possible to maintain the temperature and smoke.
- If you like a bit of char, finish the brats on a hot grill for a couple of minutes per side.
Serving and Storing
- Toast the buns on the grill. Serve the smoked brats in buns with spicy mustard, sauerkraut, and grilled onions.
