尽管我们不会在这里吸引吸烟者，但是从木炭吸烟者到燃烧器的所有东西都需要使用木片或颗粒来从您的肉中获得最好的烟熏味。山核桃是一种经典的多用途木材，可以与猪肉屁股和肋骨一起使用。苹果，枫木和樱桃木是较轻的口味，分别为猪肉，火鸡和鸡肉提供了味道。豆科灌木木材更强壮，烟熏，更适合露天或吸烟较深的肉。橡木非常适合牛s，但对家禽来说并不理想，因为它会压倒肉。雪松最适合脂肪鱼，因为它的味道很强。

Most meats should be smoked between 200 and 225 degrees, with the internal temperature reaching 145 degrees for red meat (depending on the cut) and 165 for poultry. For ribs and brisket, though they're technically done at 145 degrees, experts recommend getting them up to 180 degrees or higher by the end to really tenderize the meat. While it might feel counterintuitive to cook meat beyond well-done, for barbecue, those higher temperatures are where the magic happens.

猪肩肉

A small pork shoulder or pork butt is a great starting point for those new to smoking. Pork shoulder is sold in two forms. The lower part of the foreleg, called picnic shoulder or picnic roast, will have slightly less fat and marbling and is sold with the skin on (great for pork roast and cracklings). The pork butt, or Boston butt, (not actually the butt of the pig, as that is ham) is the higher part of the foreleg. It's a rectangular cut, well-marbled, and gives us our beloved pulled pork. Pork butt is great for stewing and braising, but it shines best from slow smoking. The marbling bastes the meat from the inside and renders the fat over time as it cooks, making it ultra-tender. It takes about two hours per pound at 225 degrees on the smoker, and like brisket, it is "done" at 145 degrees but will be perfectly tender and ideal for pulled pork at 195°F. Use apple or hickory for this piece of meat.

排骨

有两种风格的肋骨在吸烟者使用。The first is spare ribs, also referred to as St. Louis-style, which are meatier with more fat and bone. The second is the eternally popular baby back ribs from the loin, which are smaller and more tender. Baby backs will cook faster than spare ribs, but feed fewer people due to their, well, baby size. Overall, ribs are the most cost-effective meat. Just remember to remove the lower membrane to allow the rub and sauces to penetrate. Keep your smoker at a steady 230 degrees, and expect about 45 minutes per pound to get to the 185-degree internal temperature. Ribs go by the famous "3-2-1" rule, which suggests three hours of smoking, then two hours wrapped in foil with liquid, then another hour back on the racks covered in your chosen BBQ sauce. Oak, hickory, and mesquite are all good choices for ribs.

Whole Turkey

We know you were thinking it, and it's a classic project for avid barbecuers to try their hand at a熏制火鸡。将吸烟者保持在225-250度，并期望每磅30分钟的烹饪时间。确保在烹饪前（冰箱外约一个小时）将火鸡带到室温，以确保它从一开始就均匀烹饪。请确保用盐水进行准备以保持湿润，并避免吸烟的火鸡超大（内部将在温度危险区域中放置太长的时间，而加热则太久了）。完全煮熟的乳房应达到165，在大腿最大的部分中应达到180。使用山核桃或豆科灌木木材以获得最佳风味。
