The basics of smoke are as follows. You need to practice good temperature control. Meat smoking is best done in the range of 200-220 degrees F. To be safe most meats need to be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F and poultry to 165 degrees F.However, to get real tender barbecue you want a higher final temperature, say around 180 degrees F. Basically smoking is a long process of over cooking tough meats to get a tender and flavorful meal.o be safe most meats need to be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F and poultry to 165 degrees F.

by Josh. (Waldorf, Maryland) I recently smoked some chicken breast halves following a recipe I found on Smoker-Cooking.com. Everything was going great until my meat thermometer (Weber Wireless Digital) stopped at 148 degrees. I thought this to be strange so I used another digital thermometer and found it read the same temperature.
