• Thereisverylittledifferenceintemperature
andcookingtimebetweentopandbottom
racklevels.Whencookingdifferenttypesor
cutsofmeatatthesametime,placethemeat
thatrequirestheleastcookingtimeonthetop
cookingracksothatitmaybeeasilyremoved
rst.Ifonlyonecookingrackisrequired,use
theupperracklevelforthebestresult.
• Duringthesmokingprocess,avoidthe
temptationtoliftdomelidtocheckfood.
Liftingthedomelidallowsheattoescape,
makingadditionalcookingtimenecessary.
• Alwaysuseameatthermometertodetermine
iffoodisdone.Manyvariables(outside
cookingtemperature,amountofcharcoal,
thenumberoftimesthedomelidisremoved,
proximityoffoodtoheatsource,etc)will
affectactualcookingtimes.Whenusinga
meatthermometer,placeprobemid-wayinto
thethickestpartofthemeat,makingsure
thatitdoesnottouchanyfatorbone.
Allowveminutesforthethermometerto
properlyregulatetemperature.
