Poll: Hot & Fast or Low & Slow

[bbqgeekess]

Which way do you like to BBQ at home?

EDIT: Which way do you generally like to BBQ at home?

[AlwaysSmokey]

BOTH !!
(Start this off with a wrench in the spokes !!) :pile:

[Bludawg]

H&f!

[AlwaysSmokey]

J/K.....

It's always LOW AND SLOW !!!:thumb:

[toymaster]

Low n slow is all I know

[sliding_billy]

I prefer low and slow (better, more consistent results IMO), but I normally end up cooking hot and fast. It also depends on your definition of hot and fast. To me, 275+ is hot and fast.

[bigabyte]

This depends what the definition of hot and fast is.

I cook around 275 for butts, briskets and ribs.

I'm not sure if that is in the low and slow zone, or hot and fast. I think it's more "just right" than anything.

As for how I like to do my polling, I like to start low and slow, but always wind up finishing hot and fast for some reason.

Lack of control I guess.

[cowgirl]

Depends on what's in the smoker.
...and which smoker I'm using.

[NivekD]

Need a both option...that's what I do...:wink:

[bbqgeekess]

Sorry, I should of allowed people to vote for both. And added "generally" to my question.

[cholloway]

L&S means more time for libations.

agreed.

define.

I am not a "low information voter"

:becky:

[peeps]

I think half my cooks encompass both ranges for some period of time :wink:

What would you call Smitty cookin' on his converted cabinet? I see no "nuclear" option :becky:

[smoke ninja]

What's the divide line?

[Swine Spectator]

Start at 225# for about two hours, then ramp up to 275# to finish.

[Diesel Dave]

Depends on the cooker since some prefer to run hotter than others.












Had to add that in there ya know

[Enrico Brandizzi]

L&S and steady!
What do you think about 250 F? Is it still L&S?

[smoke ninja]

Warm and medium?

[Fwismoker]

Since I'm the creator of it do i need to take part in the poll? :noidea:

[peeps]

Since I'm the creator of it do i need to take part in the poll? :noidea:I didn't see "wet ribs" in the poll :wink:

[Fwismoker]

Too bad you can't re make the poll because it needs to have the parameters of what is hot and fast and what's low and slow.

L&S is under 250* usually

H&F is usually over 275*

No idea what the in between is.

[Fwismoker]

I didn't see "wet ribs" in the poll :wink: Hey it's allowed to have more than one patent. :tsk: lol

[ssv3]

Hot N Fast for me. I used to be a low n slow but I yield way better results at higher temps. Here in there I will do low and slow though.

[grill 'em all]

Low & slow(235-275) for brisket & pork..

Hot & fast(300-375) for yardbird..

550+ for burgers & steaks..

[Enrico Brandizzi]

L&S and steady!
What do you think about 250 F? Is it still L&S?

This is a great question for me that I am a beginner. I smoke usually at 225 F but I just understand that 250 F is much faster smoking way than the 25F difference can make believe with ribs

[aawa]

I do both. I prefer HnF though

[landarc]

Medium and Moderate, sometimes more, sometimes less, then again, lower can be better for somethings, but, not all things.

[N8man]

I've been known to cook long and hard....

[PatAttack]

I've been known to cook long and hard....

Now thats funny rite thar, Cuz!!:laugh:

[Carbon]

It all depends on the cut of meat and my time frame. I don't prefer one over the other. I do both L&S and H&F regularly.

[Big Country BBQ]

300-350 Hnf

[Jason TQ]

Dead serious as of right now at home I do like to do both. On my offset I run hot and fast around 300+ and for my other smokers I'm still around 250.

[HookedOnQ]

I cook mostly around 275 which to me is kinda in between the two. If I had to chose one of the two it would be low and slow. Im not a big fan of hot and fast inless its chicken

[RevZiLLa]

It just ain't that simple

[Baca008]

Low and slow. Little higher for poultry

[AaronPo]

I go both ways... :wink:

[Offthehook]

275 I call it a hybrid temp

[SmittyJonz]

Ya anywhere 'tween 325* and 450* with that Cabinet smoker :mrgreen: that's y the meat chamber door is so handy - to let heat out when temps shoot up. :oops:

[peeps]

You still ain't tamed that SOB????

[SmittyJonz]

Last cook on it I just left the door propped open 1"........worked Great. :grin:

[Fwismoker]

275 I call it a hybrid temp
ding ding ding! We officially have a winner! :clap2: That's the way i've always felt. Now my poor chickens are another matter entirely...they're cooking well into the 400's most of the time.

[frognot]
