If you're smoking andouille sausage at home, here are a few tips to get that perfect smoky flavor:

1. Wood choice matters: Hickory and oak are great for that deep, savory smoke, but if you want something a little milder, try applewood.
2. Temperature control: Keep your smoker around 225-250°F for low and slow cooking.
3. Use a water pan: It helps maintain moisture and balances the heat.
4. Don’t rush: Smoke the sausage for about 2-3 hours until it hits 160°F internally.

I think andouille sausage can totally fit into a healthy diet if you balance it with lots of veggies. Though, the sodium content can be a bit high—do you watch that?
