I need help with bratwurst. Should you prick it first? Use the direct grilling or indirect grilling method?

The easiest way (and for me the best way) to grill a bratwurst or other fatty sausage is by using the indirect method. This gives you a crisp casing with unbelievably moist meat inside. Best of all, you never get flare-ups. And if you happen to be using a charcoal grill, you can toss handfuls of soaked wood chips on the coals. Once you’ve tasted smoke-roasted brats, you’ll never want any other kind. And no, when using the indirect grilling method, you don’t need to prick the brat.
