Bacon Wrapped Sausages

Method

1. Preparation
2. Preheat the smoker or BBQ to 250 degrees.
3. On a baking sheet or cutting board, lay out 6 slices of bacon next to each other. Place a sausage onto each slice of bacon and then wrap it around tightly, cut off any excess bacon when you get to the end or consider overlapping the bacon a little bit to that there is no excess bacon. You don’t need to secure the bacon with a toothpick because you will place the bacon seam side down when putting it on the smoker, so gravity should keep it in place.
4. Prepping the Glaze
5. Combine the rub, sauces and apple juice in a small bowl and stir until well incorporated. Keep adding apple juice until it reaches to consistency of a spreadable paste.
6. Smoking the sausages
7. Place the sausages on the smoker for about 45 minutes making sure to have the bacon seam side down so it doesn’t start unwrapping as it shrinks.
8. Glazing the sausages
9. Paint the glaze onto the outside of the bacon and let them continue cooking for the final 15 minutes, if you want the glaze to be shinier or thicker you can repeat this step as many times as you like.
10. Resting and serving
11. Once the sausages are done you can pull them off the smoker and rest for 5 minutes before serving either sliced or on a bun.
