Breakfast sausage 'links'

I am having a brunch for 15 people, so I am cooking a lot of sausage.
I figured it would be easier to put the links (they are not attached to each other) in the WSM rather than fry them all. I have done fatties before, but these are the small thin sausages.
Any issues I should be aware of?
Any ideas of cook time/temp?
Thanks in advance.
 
Are they raw and not prevously cooked or smoked.

I cook to a temp of about 155 degrees and try to keep the temp down around 200 or lower. I haven't cooked little sausages only the normal ones I check them after 2 hours.
 
I've done the little uncooked links in my Genesis with a smoker box and apple wood chips. 350 deg, indirect, about 30 minutes. Plenty of smoke flavor for me. The taste of the wood smoke with maple syrup was fantastic

Michele, In the WSM I'd light a very full chimney of charcoal and shoot for 300-325 grate temps. No water in the pan, just put a sheet of foil in it and leave it up off the bottom of the pan about 1.5-2". They should take around 45 min give or take a few.

What Bryan says - but I also think that you would be fine cooking without the water pan at all and just set the sausages on the upper grate.

Ray I thought of thatat first but some of those little gems can be very greasy and with the amount she has to do I was worried that the grease burning off the coals could overwhelm them pretty bad. A large quantity of burnt grease flavor (bacon) is not very good. Don't ask how I know I just do.

Michele, If you can find the Bob Evans maple breakfast links they are really good and pretty lean. My second choice would be the Johnsonville maple breakfast links.

Michele, be careful of the hot zone with those little sausages. Won't take much to over cook them if they are in the hot zone.
