Smoke Chart

[GMDGeek]

Anyone know of or have a link to a meats smoking chart that has what the internal temp of the meat should be? I was thinking of putting one together based on the assortment of meats I've seen on Pitmasters.

We all know the typical temps of 195ish for pork shoulders and 205 for briskets, and etc. But the other types of meats I am curious to learn about.

Thanks,

There is one on the Amazing Ribs site that is pretty good. The big issue I see with this is when it comes to butts, briskets, ribs, chucks, etc, there is a range, but not a specific done temp. they are done when they are done.

Ya like Goat or Mutton or Squirell

I checked out the chart - looks like an ok starting point still not exactly what I'm wanting. And I agree temp ranges on doneness depending on the size and cut and what not.

If you combined the two charts you'd really have something

Goat and squirrel is good. Don't care for mutton.

I just started on one that lists the meats and then HNF vs LNS temps and approx time, approx temp etc...I'll post for the experts to review/revise when I'm done.

Thanks guys. I've also started to get one together that I'll be posting tomorrow.

Paul Kirk's "Championship Barbecue" has some good tables at pages 29-32 for smoking and grilling.

Be sure to include the new names for the pork cuts.

This is what I have so far - some from web crawls, others from averaging BBQ Brethren posts ... Please inject thoughts and corrections. I am trying to get this chart as complete as possible for posting.

Untrimmed spares never bend, and dark meat chicken is usually cooked until 180-185 degrees.

Is the salmon for LOX or for cooked salmon? I did my smoked salmon to 160 and I think more of a lox type is 140-145. I think.

This is part of the problem with these types of charts. Dark meat chicken is safe at 165 (and maybe earlier if held at that temp for a certain period of time), but everyone has a temp that they prefer.
