I grill fresh chorizo all the time, no problems. Just be careful of the extra grease/drippings.

That chorizo recipe looks easy enough. Once you fill the natural casings, I think you age them by hanging them for a few weeks of dehydration. I don' t think chorizo is smoke-cured. Larry is right to make sure the internal meat temp comes up to a safe165 degrees- although if you grind your own sirloin for burgers and make your own chorizo I'd take a chance on a juicy medium-rare.
