Cooking sausages under an electric grill

This is really an enquiry on DD's behalf. I hope that is allowed.

She has just replaced an all gas cooker with a dual fuel cooker, which means an electric grill. When ever she grills sausages under the grill, the fat spatters, hits the grill elements andwhich then burn it producing lots of smoke. Something the gas grill didn't do.

Does anyone else grill sausages under an electric grill and how do they deal with the clouds of smoke this produces?

I grew up with grilled sausages but much prefer fried- faster too - only about 10 minutes or so. Oven is very slow and tends to dry them out.

I think that Elegran has given advice needed. Most electric grills have two levels and for sausages - use the lower one. Then adjust the heat. Do not use on highest heat. Do not forget to prick sausages all over. Grill slowly and carefully, turning them regularly. Use foil to line base of grill pan, to collect fat that drips down. All sausages, even the most expensive, have fat in them, and grilling is a very good way of ensuring that when we eat them, we have little of that fat left behind.
