The guide has a housing (13) with an upper end on which a smoking bar support (3) is provided. A smoking bar (2) partially lies on the support and is oriented towards a hanger. The support is movable by a drive unit (6) such that the bar is moved out in a longitudinal direction from the guide in a discharge area of a hanger, in which sausages are arranged during discharge. The support is formed as a movable slot, and the drive unit is driven by a motor (7). The support runs in guide units (14). An independent claim is also included for a method for precisely supplying a smoking bar.
