How come every time i smoke sausage, it comes out dry :(, I smoke at 140 degrees so I am not getting them too hot to melt the fat out, so I don't know what to do...........any help or suggestions  would be appreciated, thanx again

Whats your lean to fat ratio?
What are you mixing into the meat?
To much salt or citric acid?
To much binder?
Not enough water?
To high end heat?
