Notes
Preheat your smoker: Always preheat your smoker to the right temperature before placing your brats on the grill. This ensures they cook evenly and achieve a delicious smoky flavor.
Make use of the smoked butter: Brush your buns with the smoked butter before toasting them in the smoker. This will give them a unique, smoky flavor that complements the brats perfectly.
Monitor the temperature: Keep an eye on the temperature of your brats while they're smoking. They should reach 160 degrees F to ensure they're fully cooked and safe to eat.
