<\/a><\/p>\n10 Easy Steps to Smoke Beef, Chicken, Pork and Fish.<\/h2>\n
1. Soak your chips.<\/strong> Use hardwood chips (not chunks, not sawdust) and soak them in water for a minimum of two hours \u2013 although overnight is best. You\u2019ll find wood chips in the grilling section of your local home improvement store. PMC\u2019s favorite hardwoods to smoke with are mesquite, hickory, cherry and alder.<\/p>\n 2. Fill a disposable aluminum drip pan halfway with wateR<\/strong>, and place the pan under one side of your grill. Your meat will go above this pan. <\/p>\n 3. Smokers use indirect heat, so keep the flame away from your food.<\/strong> Build a fire on the opposite side of your charcoal grill (or light just one side of your gas grill). Windy day? Make sure your fire is on the windward side of the grill.<\/p>\n 4. Add several handfuls of soaked wood chips directly on top of the hot coals.<\/strong> If you\u2019re using a gas grill, first put the chips in foil pouch with holes poked on top. Place this pouch directly on top of the burner under the bottom grate. <\/p>\n 5. Rub your meat in your favorite spice mix, and wrap it in heavy duty foil.<\/strong> Unlike regular grilling, you don\u2019t have to wait for the grill to heat up. Go ahead and place your meat in the smoker.<\/p>\n 6. Stay safe!<\/strong> Check your grill at least once every 90 minutes. You may need to add more wood chips and\/or charcoal briquettes during the process. Otherwise, keep the lid closed.<\/p>\n 7. Keep your grill at 225-250 degrees Fahrenheit<\/strong>, the ideal temperature for smoking. Cook it slow and low, maintaining an even temperature. You may have to adjust your grill\u2019s vents.<\/p>\n 8. Baste your meat with sauce during the last 30-45 minutes.<\/strong><\/p>\n 9. Your meat is done when it begins to fall off the bone<\/strong>, or the fish flakes apart easily. Follow the time guidelines for smoking, and you\u2019ll have tender morsels of meat with a rich, smoky taste:<\/p>\n \u2022\tBeef Ribs: 5 hours 10. Let your meat rest for 15-20 minutes<\/strong> (or up to 30 minutes for a large roast or brisket) before you dig in.<\/p>\n Smoking meat is both a science and an art.
