I remember a friend's backyard BBQ where the sausages were, well, let's just say, a bit charred. The host had gotten distracted by the conversation and, before we knew it, the sausages were burnt to a crisp! It was a great lesson in the importance of keeping an eye on the temperature and the sausages themselves.
So, what's the magic temperature number for grilled sausages? The answer is, it depends on the type of sausage you're using! For example, if you're grilling classic pork sausages, you'll want to aim for an internal temperature of at least 160°F (71°C). On the other hand, if you're feeling fancy and trying out some chorizo or Italian sausages, you might aim for a slightly higher temperature, around 165°F (74°C).
