PELLET GRILLING TIMES AND TEMPS
At Twin Eagles, great grilling comes from knowledge of the right temperatures to use and how long to
smoke or grill your meat. The following suggestions are to help you find the right starting point to begin your
perfect grilling experience.
Always be sure that proper safety precautions are observed when your Twin Eagles Pellet Grill and
Smoker is in use; adult supervision is required when children are present. Be sure to cook poultry and ground
meats thoroughly, check internal temperatures with meat probes to guarantee internal temperatures meet
suggested internal cook temperatures. The times and temperatures below are
