Bratwurst out of the smoker is really good, as long as it's not overcooked. It's also important to keep the casing intact, because holes or tears in it will let the juices out, which means loss of flavor and texture. Bratwurst (brats) can be purchased either raw or precooked. Either way, they will be at their best when cooked slowly to 155 degrees. In a 225 degree smoker it will take around 2 hours to reach this point. By running the smoker at a lower temperature, say 200 degrees, they can be smoked longer to achieve a smokier flavor. When checking the temperature of the smoking brats, use the same one each time so the others don't leak out their juicy flavor. If the smoke flavor is too intense, you can give them a quick rinse in cold water before serving.
