Summary

Deeply smoked, scored kielbasa takes on sweet-heat from a hot honey glaze while a tangy gold sauce and sweet rub build layers of caramelized, savory complexity with a perfect, snappy bite.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the smoker to 225°F and add a mild smoking wood for flavor.

  2. 2

    Score the kielbasa with shallow diagonal cuts about 1/4 inch deep and 1 inch apart along the length; repeat in the opposite direction to create a diamond pattern.

  3. 3

    Slather the scored sausage with Zesty Gold BBQ Sauce (or yellow mustard), then season all sides generously with Sweet Rub.

  4. 4

    Place the kielbasa directly on the smoker grates and smoke for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

  5. 5

    When the sausage reaches about 165°F, brush with Hot Honey BBQ Sauce, close the lid, and smoke for an additional 15 minutes to caramelize.

  6. 6

    Remove to a board, rest 5 minutes, slice into rounds, optionally sprinkle with a little extra Sweet Rub, and serve hot.
