TIPS FOR AKORN SMOKING
(Indirect Heat)
• Smoke long and slow in the 200° to 350° F range
• Adjust the dampers for desired temperature. Remember, more air equals higher temperature.
• Lump charcoal is preferred over briquettes.
• Put several layers of charcoal in rebox with soaked hickory chips (soak 40 min to 3 hrs) mixed in or
on top of coals for a wood smoke avor to the meat.
• Use less lump charcoal than you would briquettes.
• For slow cooking, (250 to 350°) build small re and light with re starter at top of the charcoal pile
• Light charcoal pile at bottom for high temp res. Easy to heat up, harder to bring down.
• Bring meat to room temp before cooking and use meat thermometer to know when done.
