The temperature range for hot smoking is usually between 52 and 80 °C (126 and 176 °F). [11] Foods smoked in this temperature range are usually fully cooked, but still moist and flavorful. At smoker temperatures hotter than 85 °C (185 °F), foods can shrink excessively, buckle, or even split.

Meat is soaked anywhere from 30 minutes to several days. The brine may be seasoned with spices and herbs. The amount of time needed to brine depends on the size of the meat: more time is needed for a large turkey compared to a broiler fryer chicken. Similarly, a large roast must be brined longer than a thin cut of meat.
For the meat to 'pull' properly, it must reach an internal temperature of 195 to 205°F (90.5 to 96°C); [1] the smoker temperature can be around 275°F (135°C). Cooking time is many hours, often more than 12 hours (though much shorter with electric pressure cookers, typically from 60 to 90 minutes).
When meat is cured then cold-smoked, the smoke adds phenols and other chemicals that have an antimicrobial effect on the meat. [3] Hot smoking has less impact on preservation and is primarily used for taste and to slow-cook the meat. [4] Interest in barbecue and smoking is on the rise worldwide. [5] [6]
A low-temperature oven, 95 to 160 °C (200 to 320 °F), is best when cooking with large cuts of meat, turkey and whole chickens. [2] This is not technically roasting temperature, but it is called slow-roasting. The benefit of slow-roasting an item is less moisture loss and a more tender product.
In Cypriot cuisine, lountza (Greek: λούντζα) is made of pork tenderloin, which is first brined and marinated in red wine, then dried and smoked. [1] It may be sold immediately after smoking, or aged. As it ages, it becomes harder and more strongly flavored. It may be spiced with coriander. [1]
