But correctly done, it results in irresistible BBQ.<\/p>\n

Earth Oven<\/span>
\nAn ancient cooking structure that is simply a pit dug into the earth. Wood is inserted and then burned down to a smolder. Meat
\nis placed in the pit and then covered to cook.<\/p>\n

Traditional Drum Smoker<\/span>
\nA large cylindrical cooking chamber with a smaller firebox chamber attached. This is where the wood is smoked. Airflow is tightly controlled in order to achieve the proper temperature in the cooking chamber. Variations include an upright drum and vertical water smoker.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.15)” css=”.vc_custom_1510684080297{margin-top: 25px !important;margin-bottom: 75px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”Charcoal Smokers” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”9879″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]This method cooks using a combination of wood and charcoal to achieve the desired smoke effect.

Heat comes from a gas burner at the base. Just above the burner is a box that contains wood or charcoal \u2013 small holes in the box starve the wood or charcoal of oxygen allowing it to smoke instead of burn.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1510600162230{margin-top: 35px !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}” el_id=”TodaysFlavors”][vc_column width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1490490109684{padding-top: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1510681625354{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

The Best BBQ Cooking Times<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]There’s an old saying in BBQ: \u201cLow and slow is all you need to know.\u201d And that’s because certain cuts like pork butt need to be cooked at a lower temperature in order to avoid overcooking the outside while waiting for proper internal temperature to be reached. Internal temperature is the most important factor in determining whether the meat is done or not.<\/p>\n

Below are some optimal cook times for various pork cuts.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Pork Butt” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1491498374655{margin-left: -70px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
