smoked summer sausage
My husband is very picky with his summer sausage and he bought a brand he did not try before. We both decided it was too greasy and he thought it was very bland and no smoke flavor so I just happen to be using the Traeger smoker and decide to try the sausage in the smoker along with a roast I was smoking. Boy was it ever so much better. We will be buying more to smoke. You can use other rubs that you have handy and just use one that you like for taste and flavor.. you will be surprised how much it improves the flavor.
