BRADLEY SMOKER | "Taste the Great Outdoors"

An easy sandwich I want to share. A nice addition to your next smoke.

I took some Johnsonville beer brats, Flattened them out, maintaining
the original length.

Spread them with a layer of Dijon mustard.

Added a layer of Sauerkraut.

Placed them in Hoagie Rolls.

These were great!

Outstanding Idea Jim! Glad brats aint in the list of ingredients for an Iron Chef contest.

Wow indeed!!  My stomach is doing back flips.  That looks delicious.  Great idea that I will definitely have to try.

Jim,
You are killing me!  Where the heck have you been all this time?  What a great looking meal.  A couple of questions if you please.  First, how many brats are in each roll?  You smoked for 2 hours, at what temp and did you have to continue to cook them after the smoke period to get the brat meat done?

Those look incredible and I am definitely making those.  Thanks Jim and your entry in the Iron Chef is just as incredible.

All I can say is WOW!!

Ole

Thanks KyNola,
I used one brat for each sandwich, smoked at 220 with Hickory.

Boy do those looks great!  :)

WOWSERS  NICE

Like Rodney Allen Rippy said "That to big a eat"

nepas

Very nice Jim!!!!!!!  Great idea!!!!!

BCD

Now thats what I call "Sammitch". Great idea and great cook!

Jim... you dog you... I just finished dinner and now I'm hungry again.  The wife said I had better make her one of those bad boys this weekend.  Thanks for the idea!

WOW...well done Jim...geeezzz.... just.... WOW...killer looking and tasty stuff there....dang...where have you been man?  ;D

That looks great, they should add it to the recipe site.

Johnsonville Brats....Genius!!!

That is a must do for this weekend!

Wow,those look good.

I'm doing a dozen of these this weekend.  In addition to the kraut, going to add onions and smoked white cheddar cheese.  I swear I could easily do two dozen and there be absolutely none left as everyone I have told about this recipe has requested one.

Thanks again Jim!

I have a bag of bulk Kielbasa sausage meat thawing out right now. going to make some of these tonight for dinner. I am going to add Swiss American cheese in with mine.

Dang it Chris, I KNEW you were going to beat me to them! :D

We're going to want to see the finished product you know.

Larry,
Since you were all bummed out. I desided to do mine on the grill with hickory smoke. I posted the pics under PJ's Hoagie.

WOW, Great responces! It was so simple, but oh soooo good.
Let me know how your variation turns out.  ;)
This could be a good one for newbies to get started with. I had my smoker for a month now. I never smoked anything before that.
The forum members sure helped me get off to a good start, Thanks!
Jim

Jim,
Are you sh_____g me? You've never owned a smoker before and your 10th post was a killer entry in the Iron Chef competition and followed it up with a post that has 10.5 and me doing backflips over your bacon wrapped brat roll ups? 

Can't wait to see what you come up with once you have some experience under your belt.   :D  :D

KyNola

OK... I have seen a few of you all have tried these... I just finished making mine and getting ready to put in my DBS.  I had a devil of a time rolling these.  I tried plastic wrap and also wax paper.  Rolling them was rough.  Wrapping them in bacon was nearly impossible.  Any tips or secrets that would make it easier next time? 

Thanks all.

A Third or Fourth Hand!! Make your patty alittle thicker and that might help keep the sides from blowing out.

So could the be assembled the night before and then smoked the next day?  I'd like to be able to make them all tonight and wrap them up so I can throw them in the smoker in the morning.  Trying to avoid the rain so thats why I ask.

I do not see why not, as long as they were kept cold everything should be fine.

Great!!!  Thanks for the quick reply.  This is why I love this forum.  Everyone is so helpful and quick to give an answer.  A big part of the reason why I bought my OBS.
