I see a lot of smoked sausage that's firm, like Polish sausage but I'm looking for ground roll sausage. Any ideas? Thanks!

Make your own smoked sausage patties! We did and it is easy. I bought a couple of rolls of ground sausage, sliced them into about 2" patties, then flattened them to a 4" in diameter & about 1/2" thick patty. Fire up the grill (preferably a smoker) with added hickory chips. I used a couple of disposable aluminum pans for the patties to keep the grease off the coals. Close the lid and let them smoke at about 250 degrees for an hour or two -- LOW AND SLOW ---
check them after a half hour to see how they are doing. They will shrink a lot and absorb that great smokey flavor. When done, transfer them to another aluminum pan and IQF (individual quick freeze) them. When frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag. They are ready for you anytime - just nuke (microwave) one and slap it inside a biscuit. I keep sliced cooked biscuits in the freezer too.
mmmm-mmmm!
