Poll: What are your 'go to' smoking temps for the big boys?

[Cookie]

Just curious...

Vote added. Excellent Poll @Cookie

I've only done one brisket, so my answer may not be as accurate as the others, but done plenty of pork butts and they turn out wicked.

@Cookie - excellent poll.  I wish we had the capability to give multiple responses.  Depending on what I need to get done and the timeframe, I may bump up my butt and brisket cooks to 275 if I'm rushed.  Normal temp is 225.  If I'm really behind the 8 Ball, then I've done 300°, but I'm not a real fan of cooking at that temp.

I know what you mean, we've all had the 'uh oh, my guests are about to arrive, time to crank it up' moment, but I couldn't come up with every possible response, and I thought that would kind of dilute the data...  I guess this poll should be viewed as 'in a perfect world, where you have as much time as you want,' what is your preferred cooking temp.

250°-275°.

Shoot for 250*. If I'm not paying attention (most days), cook at whatever it settles at between 225* - 300*.

I recognize some just cook within a range that may be outside of the responses available in the poll.  If that is the case, please choose a number that coincides with the middle of that range?  Thx.

275 for both for me. I used to use 225, but find on a Kamado you don't need to stay that low. 275 to the colour I like, then wrap to punch through the stall if I feel like it, then naked* to reset any bark loss.

 

* the meat, obviously.

@_Ed_ - thank goodness you clarified that comment.  That was a visual that was going to haunt me!
