Food Smoking is one of the funnest and most satisfying things you’ll ever do when cooking. It’s amazing to be able to take some meat and make it taste 100x better with very minimal effort! Knowing the basics to food smoking is key to making sure your meat is smoked to perfection and cooked thoroughly. One key to food smoking is good temperature control. Food smoking is best done in the range of 200-220 degrees F.

Good Temperature Control is the Key for Success

Keeping your heat low is the key to successful food smoking. It will give the smoke enough time to envelope your meat and naturally tenderize it. Slow smoking the meat also give the fibers in the meat time to break down and become tender. This allows the fibers to change into basics sugars, helping it taste a little bit better (without adding calories)!

Better Safe than Sorry

But most importantly; it is better to be safe then sorry. That’s why you should always check the internal temperature of your meat before serving. If you keep with the internal temperatures as shown below, you are good to go. You can even pin it on your refrigerator so you’ll always have it handy!
