The product should then be dried so the smoke can spread evenly.
In the smoker, the product should have free access to the smoke.
The temperature is chosen depending on the effect you want to achieve.

Smoking process overview
First decide what you want to smoke: meat, fish, cheese or vegetables. The product should be fresh and high quality - smoking enhances flavor, but does not fix poor raw material.
Meat and fish require curing or salting. This is a key step that improves taste and prepares the product for smoking.
After curing, the product should be dried before going into the smoker. A dry surface helps smoke adhere evenly and gives better color and aroma.
BBQ process overview
BBQ means slow cooking at low temperature with heat and smoke. Unlike classic grilling, BBQ is based on time, patience and stable conditions.
Start with the right cut. Larger pieces with connective tissue are ideal for long cooking and become juicy and tender.
Keep temperature stable and let the process run without rush. This is the key to repeatable BBQ results.
