Preheat smoker to 250°F.
Cook the sausage, crumbling as it cooks, until browned in a pan or cast iron skillet. Add the thyme. Transfer to a plate or bowl. Drain any excess grease.
Melt butter in the same pan. Add celery and onion and cook until tender.
Remove from heat, stir in the broth and stuffing mix, or the breadcrumbs and seasonings, then add back in the sausage. Mix until combined. Transfer to a grill-safe pan or cast-iron skillet.
Place the pan on the smoker grate. Smoke for 45 minutes, or until the top is a bit crisp.
Remove from grill and rest for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve.

Ensure that the pellet grill is preheated to the desired temperature before adding the stuffing. This allows for consistent heat and smoke throughout the cooking process, imparting a rich smoky flavor to the dish.

If you want a more pronounced smoky flavor in your stuffing, consider using a smoke box or creating a foil pouch filled with wood chips. Place the smoke box or pouch directly on the grill grates or near the heat source to infuse the stuffing with the desired level of smokiness.

Aim for an internal temperature of around 160-165°F (71-74°C) to ensure that the stuffing is thoroughly cooked and safe to eat.
