What are the benefits of smoking versus traditional BBQ?
To get good results from barbecuing food requires careful timing so that cooking occurs when the fire is just right, not too hot or cold. Additionally it is very much a hands on process as the meat will need to be constantly watched so it doesn’t burn and moved around so that the bigger pieces of meat are above the hottest part of the fire. Smoking on the other hand is a leisurely process, you make the fire add meat etc. and then leave it to its own thing – the result also are to die for. With food smoking you will need to start a number of hours before as it is a longer process, typically anything from 3 – 12 hours depending on what you are smoking.
