When doing it that way, in liquid anyway, I usually put a pan on the grill
filled with beer and onions, maybe even a little butter(I know, sounds weird
maybe, but...). That gets hot while I "grill" the outside, getting good
marks and the casing crisp. Then drop 'em in the pan to finish cooking.

My favorite way now for sausage though(so far I've used hot Italian,
kielbasa and chorizo) is to toss 'em on the top rack in the smoker while I'm
doing something else like a butt, ribs, brisket, whatever... and let 'em sit
there and smoke for a couple hours. Toughens the outside, but I like that,
and all the juices stay in for the most part. Delicious IMO.

Why water? Use lard.

That is by far the best way. If you can avoid breaking thecasing, they
burst with juices at the first bite.
