Temperatures to use for different cuts
« on: January 14, 2016, 01:31:35 PM »
I am a new smoker. What I need to know is the different temps for things such as beef roast, ribs, pork butts, chicken, and brisket. Also need to know how long to smoke per lb for each of these. I know I am asking a lot but have no idea how to get started. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Candy, welcome to the forum from the Keys. Lots of friendly, knowledgeable folks here. Invest a little time poking around and you will soon be producing great Q.

Hi Candy, and welcome to "Club Lazy Q!"  You've found the best smoker, and "one-stop shop" for all your pit master needs!  If you spend some time with us, we'll point you in the right direction and turn you into a pro in no time! 

Start with the references posted above.  When you decide on your first smoke, find a recipe that looks good (or ask us and we'll direct you to one), then try to duplicate the prep and process.  Once you get a few smokes under your belt, you'll have a good feel for the smoker, then you can get creative.  At first, try to repeat what we know "works."  You will, literally, be amazed at how easy it all can be, and what great food you'll make right out of the gate!

Great to have you with us!
