Sizzling Summer Grilling: Mastering Sausages at The Savory Sausage Spot

As the sun shines brighter and the days grow longer, there’s no better time to fire up the grill at The Savory Sausage Spot. Our handcrafted sausages are the stars of any summer cookout, bursting with authentic flavors that turn ordinary meals into memorable feasts. In this third installment of our grilling series, we’re sharing insider tips to help you grill like a pro and make the most of our savory selections.

Why Choose Sausages for Summer Grilling?

Sausages are the ultimate grill-friendly protein: quick-cooking, versatile, and packed with juicy goodness. At The Savory Sausage Spot, we source only the finest ingredients—locally raised meats, fresh herbs, and subtle spices—to ensure every bite is a delight. Whether you’re a fan of our classic bratwurst or the smoky andouille, grilling brings out their best.

Prep Your Sausages Right

Start with the basics:

  • Thaw Properly: If frozen, thaw in the fridge overnight. Never microwave— it can affect texture.
  • Prick the Casings: Use a fork to poke small holes. This prevents bursting and allows flavorful juices to mingle with your marinade.
  • Marinate for Flavor: Try our house rub of garlic, paprika, and a touch of honey for 30 minutes before grilling.

Grilling Techniques for Perfection

Heat is key! Preheat your grill to medium-high (about 375°F). Oil the grates to avoid sticking.

  1. Direct Grilling: Place sausages directly over the heat. Turn every 2-3 minutes for even charring. Aim for an internal temperature of 160°F.
  2. Indirect Heat for Larger Links: For thicker sausages like our Italian style, start on indirect heat to cook through, then finish with a quick sear.
  3. Rest and Serve: Let them rest for 5 minutes post-grill. Slice and pair with grilled veggies, sauerkraut, or our signature mustard blend.

Pro Tip: Avoid flare-ups by keeping a spray bottle of water handy. The sizzle is satisfying, but safety first!

Pairing Suggestions from Our Spot

Elevate your grill session with sides that complement our sausages:

  • Beer Pairing: A crisp lager cuts through the richness of bratwurst.
  • Sides: Grilled corn on the cob or potato salad for a complete meal.
  • Dessert Twist: End with our sausage-inspired dessert? Okay, maybe not—but try our fruit-infused sausages for a sweet-savory surprise.
