HMMM  yep  my opinion is same as lilsmokers ....... S N A C K   STICKS

used to stuff them about 15" long tie them off  ...  leave the string long and tie them to the top of a rack ..........  slide the rack in the top slot of the bradley upsidedown .. so all my little  snack snicks  would hang with out touching .  then 2-3  times during the smoke  just turn the rack  front to back .  as a rotation .   and  a good recipe  is at

I add 2 tbs of  crushed pepper to the recipe for a little  zip . ;D

by chance do you mean dowel that bridges from side to side in the BS to support hanging meat?

I use 1" hardwood dowel from any supplier cut to length.

yup that's what i'm talking about.  there are metal ones out there too.  does the hardwood not burn during hot smoking?  how do you get it not to "roll around" ?  i guess i could hit the ends with a sander and make a small flat surface?

Hardwood dowels work great. You don't have to worry about sanding down the ends. The weight of the sausage hanging over both sides will keep them from rolling around. :)

check out Chez Bubba's website (chezbubba.com), under "accessories" he has a sausage hanging rack that fits in the top slot of the Bradley. He also has a "drying rack" that has some cross pieces on the top, and looks like you could hang sausage from it, whole thing fits right into the smoker. Hope this in on track for what you are looking for.

Correction, took another look at the drying rack, and don't think it will fit inside the smoker. Liked the idea about turning the trays upside down and hanging from the grids. would work good for smaller diameter stuff.

Smoke Sticks are wooden sticks used in place of the racks.  These are especially useful if you stuff long lengths of sausage links.  Hanging the links on the sticks allows smoke to get everywhere, with no little grill/rack marks.  This is a traditional method of smoking.  They are usually hardwood, and triangular in shape; however, I do well enough with small quarter-round molding cut to length.  Just hang them on the tabs used for the racks, and all will be well.
