For “low and slow” BBQ cooking like ribs or pork butt, 200º to 250º F is the magic number that most pitmasters use for smoking. It’s just hot enough to gelatinize connective tissue and make the meat juicy, but not hot enough to dry the meat out or scorch it. See our guide to smoking temperatures for the delicious details.
