Building Your Fire - Char-Broil 140871 Manual

SMOKING AND SLOW COOKING
The general goal with this type of cooking is to break down tougher meat cuts over a long
period of time, rendering these cuts tender and juicy. Typically, cook chamber temperature
will need to be maintained at 110 - 135 °C by tending to your fire and adjusting airflow
throughout the cook.
