Smoking meat delivers incredible flavour, perfect for sharing with friends. Chomprewards is packed with tips from pitmasters and newbies alike. This beginner’s guide gets you started—get your friends to join the smoky fun!
1. Pick Your Meat
Start with pork shoulder or brisket flat. Pork shoulder’s fat makes it forgiving—smoke 8-10 hours at 107-121°C to reach 90-95°C internally for tender results. Brisket flat is easier to handle. Ask friends to share their favourite cuts on Chomprewards.

2. Choose Your Wood
Wood adds flavour: hickory for bold, bacon-like taste; applewood for sweet, mild smoke. Soak chips 30 minutes for electric smokers or use chunks for charcoal. Try a 50/50 mix. Get friends to post their wood choices on Chomprewards.

3. Low and Slow Is Key
Maintain 107-121°C in your smoker, using a digital thermometer. Add a water pan for moisture and stable heat, refilling every 2-3 hours. Spritz meat with apple juice hourly for flavour. Encourage friends to share smoker setups on Chomprewards.

4. Don’t Rush the Rest
Wrap smoked meat in foil and rest in an insulated cooler (no ice) for 1-2 hours. Check temps: 74°C for poultry, 90°C for pork. Resting keeps it juicy. Start a “Smoke-Off” with friends on Chomprewards to share results!
