Step 4: Build Color and Flavor
Now you reach #4–6 (the sweet spot):
- Grill for 8–12 minutes total
- Turn regularly for even browning
- Look for golden brown with grill marks
This is where magic happens:
Juicy inside
Crispy outside
Full smoky BBQ flavor
Ideal internal temperature:
- 70°C (160°F) for most sausages
Step 5: Avoid Overcooking (The Danger Zone)
Stages #7–9 may look bold… but:
- Too much charring = bitter taste
- Burnt skin = dry inside
- Blackened areas may contain harmful compounds
If it’s completely black like #8 or #9… it’s gone too far.
