Temperature differences?
Good morning - I'm using a book which generally recommends a smoker temp of 225F and an internal temp of 165F. On recommendation, I purchased a second book, "Smokin" by Myron Mixon. His recommendations for smoking appear to be much higher; for example for a brisket, he recommends a smoker temp... -

Smoke time vs heating time
There is a difference between the time smoke is being produced, and the time heat is available. I understand some folks might want a lighter smoke over say 3 hours and some want smoke for all 3 hours. Is there a general rule of thumb stating the ratio of smoke time to cooking time? - Mike- Mike
