CHOOSING MEAT  PREPARATION TEMP
PROTIENS
BEEF Classic BBQ meat includes many fatty cuts that smoke wonderfully. Trim off excess fat and rub it with your favourite Smokey Q rubs.  
LAMB Lamb shoulder and leg are excellent choices for smoking. Trim off excess fat and rub them with your favourite Smokey Q rubs. 43-45°C
PORK Great cuts include ribs, shoulder, and Boston butt. Trim off excess fat and rub them with your favourite Smokey Q rubs. 60°C
CHICKEN Whole birds, wings, and legs smoke well, or you can cook them hot and fast. Brining whole birds is a great option, but I prefer cooking chickens quickly to render the skin crunchy. 60-65°C
SEAFOOD Quick and easy options include whole fish, grilled prawns, or octopus. Season and cook directly or smoke them. 65-70°C
GAME MEAT Though very lean, a leg of venison smokes well. Trim off excess fat and rub it with your favourite Smokey Q rubs.
