Pit boss smoke brats - how to smoke brats on pellet grill

Smoked brats are possibly the easiest bratwurst to prepare. This method is almost full-proof, yet each juicy bite is completely soaked in delicious smoke flavor. Honestly, I discovered this easy method of cooking brats because I was feeling lazy. I wanted to have a cookout but I didn't feel like tending to a hot grill. Instead, I just fired up my smoker and threw some fresh brats inside, and ignored them until they reached 160 degrees of smoky heaven. One bite of these tasty sausages and my taste buds were hooked! When selecting your brat, it’s important to purchase an uncooked, raw brat that has a well-balanced lean-to-fat ratio. When you buy cooked brats, that typically means they’ve been pre-boiled. It drastically reduces your cooking time but also means a whole lot of the natural flavor will be diluted long before it ever hits the grill. At the end of the day, an epic brat is a perfect combination of delicious meats, juices, and seasonings, all tied together inside an incredible casing. The quality of those proteins and the taste of your final product is going to depend on the fat and salt incorporated into your brat’s construction. Smoked brats are gently cooked in a smoker, rather than on a searing hot grill. This infuses the entire brat with a deep smoky flavor, while the gentle heat prevents the bratwurst casing from bursting and all of the juice from running out, as is often the case when grilling brats over direct heat. To smoke brats set your smoker at 250 degrees and add your favorite pellets. Let them cook for 1hr or until internal temp hits 165. Hope you enjoy this video.
