Cane Pole Kabobs

When I got my copy of Southern Livings Big Book of BBQ the other day I knew this recipe would be the first one I made. First I love kabobs of any variety and second I love smoked sausages and kielbasa cooked on the grill.

If you do a lot of cooking on the grill this is a wonderful book to have, or you can wait and I'll probably post half of them over the summer. Sorry, nothing gets posted until I cook it or at least eat a little.
