Temperatura 130 °C jest prawidłowa, przy użyciu niższych temperatur czas dochodzenia temperatury wewnątrz mięsa wydłuży się.

| Wyłączyć generator dymu i pozostawić mięso w wędzarni na 8-10 godzin, aż osiągnie temperaturę wewnętrzną 70 °C. Jaka temperature utrzymywać w wędzarni? 130 °C wydaje się być dużo
