When the outside temperature is cooler than 65°F
and the altitude is above 3,500 feet, we suggest
adding more cooking time. (If you are not sure the
meal is cooked, use a meat thermometer to test the
meat.)
Do not lift your smoker lid during the smoking
process to check food. This will extend your cooking
time due to heat escape.
If you are using only 1 grill rack, use the upper grill
rack for better results. If you need to use both grill
racks place the meat that requires the least cooking
time on the top grill.
