refrigeratortemperatures.
Useagoodqualitytemperatureprobetoassurebestresults.Wesuggestthatwhengrillingathigher
temperatures,youapplybarbecuesauceonlyduringthelast15to30minutesofgrillingtopreventexcessbrowningorburning.


Smokingtimesarelargelydependentonpersonalpreferenceandthequalityofthemeatbeingsmoked.Ingeneralthelonger
yousmokethemeatatalowertemperaturethemoretenderthemeatwillbecome.Youwillalsoneedtoconsiderhowmuch
ofasmoketasteyouwantandwhatflavorofsmoke.Oak,Hickory,Apple,Alder,Cherry,Mesquitetonamethemostcommon.
Here
againthatislargelyamatterofpersonalpreference.

ForbestresultswerecommendthatyouuseasetpointtemperatureinSmokeModefrom225‐275°formostmeats.Ifyouwish
tohaveasmokierflavorandhavethetime,youcangoaslowas180°,butyouusuallydon’tgainmuchbydoingthat.Alwaysuse

ameatthermometertobesuremeatsandpoultryarecookedtoasafeinternaltemperatureanddoneness.

Itshouldalsobenotedthat,whensmokinginaverywarmenvironment(sunnyweatherinexcessof90°F),itmaybedifficultfor
yourgrilltomaintaintemperatureslowerthan200°F.
Ifnecessary,thiscanberemediedbyleavingthehoodslightlyajar.

Thefollowingisageneralguide,andwerecommendyouexperimenttofindwhattemperatureandflavorbestsuitesyour
