3 simple smoker recipes
New to smoking? Start with these three easy cooks: pork ribs, chicken wings and pulled pork.
These three cooks are forgiving, use easy-to-find cuts and teach the basics of temperature, smoke and resting. Run your smoker at around 120°C for all three.
1. Sticky pork ribs
Remove the membrane, season with a sweet barbecue rub and smoke for about three hours. Brush with your favourite sauce for the last 30 minutes so the glaze sets without burning.
2. Smoked chicken wings
Pat the wings dry, season with salt, pepper and paprika, and smoke for about an hour. Finish over higher heat for crisp skin and cook until they reach 74°C internal.
3. Pulled pork
Season a pork shoulder generously and smoke until it reaches around 93°C internal, usually eight to ten hours. Rest it wrapped for an hour, then shred and toss with a little of the resting juices.
