Pyrolysis is the process of breaking chemical bonds in a material’s molecules by heating it over its breakdown temperature. The components typically break down to form smaller molecules, but they can also combine to form solid compounds and residues.

But this is totally false! Meat will continue to take on smoke for however long it is subjected to smoke. The amount of smoke meat takes on certainly falls dramatically as a cook progresses, but it still takes on SOME smoke. There’s no advice needed for pellet smokers because the wood is both the source of heat and the source of smoke. Set up your grill to smoke using the charcoal snake method, and follow the same guidelines for the amount of wood to use as above for charcoal smokers. However, for large cuts such as ribs, brisket, pork butts and shoulders, they can take anything from between 5 and 16 hours to cook! Should you smoke for the whole time? Or just some of it?
