Kransky Sausage BBQ Overview

Kransky is a Slovenian-style smoked sausage that's become an Australian BBQ staple (especially from the Barossa Valley). It's already smoked so it has a head start on flavour. The natural casing gives a satisfying snap. Often stuffed with cheese. Grill over medium heat until the casing is crispy and the cheese (if any) is molten.
