When I smoke polish sausage, I do it at 225* for about 1 1/2 hrs to 2 hrs. I turn the sausage over about half way through the cook. I like apple wood when I smoke polish sausage. Hickory is fine also not cherry.If using both racks the top rack will finish first, or you can rotate the meat from top to bottom rack half way through the cook while turning it over.
