When outside temperature is cooler than 65°F (18°C) and/or altitude is above 3,500 feet (1067m),
additional cooking time may be required. To insure that meat is completely cooked use a meat
thermometer to test internal temperature.
•
Opening smoker door or removing lid during cooking process may extend cooking time due
to heat loss.
