Temp calculations
Does anyone have a formula for temp to time calculations?
Let's say you have a 10lb piece of brisket At 220 degrees say, you'll smoke for 1 1/2 hours a lb So what would it be if you smoked the same meat at 200? 250? 275? 300? How do you arrive at your estimates? What about for ribs? Chicken? Butt? What? Chicken Butt. Now please don't answer that it's tenderness that determines done. I know that. I'm just trying to figure out time to temp ratios for estimating time of completetion. |

RE: Temp calculations
I feel a science project coming on (and a real good reason to cook something this weekend). Off the top of my head, here are my ballpark times at 225 degrees:
Now then, for the BB, Picnic Shoulder and Brisket, this does not count the time that they are wrapped and coolered. That's usually another 30 minutes to an hour.

RE: Temp calculations
I find the BBQ is done when its done (especially brisket)!! I have cooked similar sized briskets right next to each other and they will get done at different times. I just cook brisket until the temp probe goes in and comes out easily. Sometimes it seems like that is an hour a pound and sometimes closer to two.

Same for me....different briskets take different amounts of time. My pork shoulders are usually similar time wise, but briskets never take the same amount of time. Things that make you go hmmmmmm!

Best I can give you is a guesstimate from all the info in my cooking log. Allowing there are variables of fat content, age of meat etc. for butts and briskets I'd say 200* cooking temp will put your close,maybe a bit over, 1.5 hrs per # and 250 would start getting under and hour per #. The key to these two is, finish early and let the cooler be your friend. Chicken is a little easier, for parts (thighs, breasts) 2 hrs @ 275 will cook either part perfect. Keep in mind my times here are for brined parts which will cook a little faster than unbrined. Allow some extra time for saucing/glazing. |
