The art of hot smoking refers to longer cooking times, but results in more natural wood flavor (and a sought-after
smoke ring) on your meats. Higher cooking temperatures result in a shorter cooking time, locking in less smoke
flavor.
For best results, allow time for meats to rest after cooking. This allows the natural juices to migrate back
into the meat fiber, giving a much juicer, flavorful cut. Resting times can be as little as 3 minutes and up to
60 minutes, depending on the size of the protein.
