Cooking with Fire - By Sara Dickerman, Steven Raichlen, and Chris Schlesinger - Slate Magazine

  • In my opinion, hot smoking is below 140 degrees, BBQ goes from 160-220 degrees, and smoke roasting is above 300 degrees.

California Barbecue Association - Visitor  Information

  • Authentic barbecue means meat or other
    food (like fish and vegetables) which is cooked in the heat and
    smoke of wood coals.
  • The essence of barbecue, then, is the heat and smoke produced by
    wood coals.

The Lexington Collection - Making barbecue in the backyard.

  • About 45 minutes before you are ready to begin cooking, strike up the fire and prepare the first batch of coals with the wood of your choice. Place the coals in the pit and increase the temperature until it is the proper range for cooking. Just what that might be is a matter of some speculation among pitmasters! Temperatures below 125°F are adequate for smoking meats over long periods of time. Grilling tender cuts of meats generally requires temperatures above 350°F. Pulled pork barbecue, on the other hand, is created by cooking an inexpensive cut of meat at moderate temperatures over a period of time long enough for the tough connective tissues to break down but short enough for the barbecue to remain moist throughout. That means maintaining a cooking temperature somewhere is the range of 250-275°F for about 8-12 hours. At that temperature you should be able to place the palm of your hand directly on the surface of your cooker for a count of "one thousand one" or so before a strong urge to remove it sets in!

  • Eventually, even to those whose reasoning is as
    dense and the smoke they produce, there comes an awakening "Less is more
    better."



    Regardless of the species of wood, excessive smoke is offensive.
