Cooking Italian Sausages out on the BBQ Grill?

Bought a package of uncooked Italian Sausages (pork) from the market. I'd like to grill them out on my charcoal grill. Any tips for cooking these things? High Heat, low heat, how long, etc?

I don't want to burn them or overcook them, but I'm in no rush to get trichinosis either

Thanks!

I would parboil the sausage first for about 15 minutes - use a Frying Pan put enough liquid in the pan so that it will cover the sausage (I use beer - using plain water will sometimes take some of the flavor out of the sausage - if you can't use beer you can put some Italian seasoning in the water to keep the flavor alive). When the water starts boiling start timing the 15 minutes. Preheat your grill to medium low and put the sausage on when done parboiling brown on all sides and your sausage should be cooked. Below I have added some comments I found online regarding parboiling -

For a special taste treat, par-boil sausage in beer prior to grilling. To use this method, substitute beer for water. According to Peter LaFrance, author of Cooking and Eating With Beer, stronger flavored beers tend to impart more flavor to sausage. Beers that are heavy on malt will impart a sweeter flavor, which may complement a strong sausages. Lagers, when used this way, tend to be more bitter and complement a sweeter sausage well. Onions can be added to the beer while parboiling for additional flavor.
