  10. The Most Important Thing • Slow and low • (No, really. That’s it.) • Smoker temperature: between 200-225 degrees • Cuts of meat used in BBQ • More connective tissue (tougher) • Require longer cook times • Breaks down tissues • Melts fat to keep meat from drying out Image source: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/S/aplus-media/vc/18442a7c-1c1e-49f3-93c4-56472abc3a52.png
