What is a hot smoker?
Online Answer
Hot smoking usually occurs within the range of 52 to 80 °C (126 to 176 °F). When food is smoked within this temperature range, foods are fully cooked, moist, and flavorful. If the smoker is allowed to get hotter than 85 °C (185 °F), the foods will shrink excessively, buckle, or even split..
