Notes

This recipe works on any type of smoker—pellet, electric, or stick burner.
For added flavor, use apple, hickory, or cherry wood pellets.
Always cook brats to an internal temperature of 160°F for best texture and food safety.
No need to boil the brats beforehand—smoking them raw keeps them juicy and flavorful.
