Preheat the smoker to 225°F. Boil 4-6 cups of water and place into the smoker's water containment. Place the woodchips into the smoker in a foil pouch or directly into the woodchip holder.
Place the ribs into the smoker and do not open for at least 2 hours. This is when the meat will absorb the most smoke.
After 2 hours, add the sausage to the grill. Brush the ribs with your favorite BBQ sauce and then continue to cook the ribs until the internal temperature reaches 160°F for both the ribs and the sausage. Brush every 30 minutes with BBQ sauce. When heated through, tent both in foil for 15 minutes prior to serving. Happy Halloween!
