Low & Slow / Hot & Fast

Texana · 10-12-2007, 07:33 AM

Just a simple poll to see if there is a majority one way or the other.

Nothing more nothing less ... this is not meant to be a trick question or stir up crap about who is wrong or right ...

What is your preference?

Of course the 3rd question is for those that cant decide :)

FatBoyz · 10-12-2007, 08:05 AM

fast really fast i tryed slow i get to drunk

Brauma · 10-12-2007, 08:14 AM

I voted low & slow but some might say I cook my butts too fast. I dont mind if the temp gets up to 250-275 and I foil as soon as internal hits 160-165.

Its still the best Q Ive ever had.

ZBQ · 10-12-2007, 08:18 AM

Low and slow.

I've never tried hot and fast though.

MoKanMeathead · 10-12-2007, 08:22 AM

Hot and Fast here. Took 3 hrs and 40 min. to cook our 13+ pounder at the Royal - finished 32nd out of 470+ teams. Not bad for us.

The_Kapn · 10-12-2007, 08:43 AM

Depends on the cooker and the meat for me.

Burning sticks or charcoal/chunks, Butts, Briskets, Chuck Roasts, etc are hot (300+)
Ribs, Chicken, etc are low (250ish).

On the FEC--everthing around 250ish except Jerky and Bacon at 160ish.

It all works wonderful.

I start low, creeping the temp up during the cook and finish about 275°. I have learned a bunch about hot-n-fast cooking right here and have tried it maybe 10 times with good results. HNF is easier for me in the Egg than the BDS (for the time being).

I do as long of a rest as I can...... What kind of rest do you hot-n-fast folks like the best?

Kung Fu BBQ · 10-12-2007, 09:50 AM

I'm low and slow, but I'd like to try the hot and fast.

bbqbull · 10-12-2007, 10:48 AM

Low and slow seems to be the best for me.

Will be doing a few this weeked.

Spydermike72 · 10-12-2007, 11:57 AM

Low and Slow for me. But I say that without ever trying Hot and Fast. I will try it in the future, I just have not yet.

kickassbbq · 10-12-2007, 12:38 PM

Hot and Fast for me. I am an Ol' Man and I may not have 12-15 hours. Besides, I get drunk in about 4-5 hours, so when I smoke for 12, I end up letting to fire go out and pass out in the Harley Shop.
Bsides that, I get better results doing Butts and Briskets in 5 hours. Better BBQ in my opinion. But I don't know Jack Didley about anything!!!!!
PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Smoke on!!!!!

Dale P · 10-12-2007, 02:16 PM

About 7 hrs for me. I cant do the 20 hr cooks anymore with this diabetes. The meds make me sleep like a rock.
I started 4 butts this morning and the top one is at 193.5 and climbing. They were put on at 9 this morning. I love my Spicewine

bigabyte · 10-12-2007, 04:18 PM

I like it hot and fast. Brisket too.

Now that is funny....

I do low and slow but just because I have always done it that way. If someone will send me a free brisket I'll dang sure crank up the temps and let it rock.
