What this calculator does
The Meat Smoking Time Calculator estimates how long to keep meat in the smoker based on its weight, the cut, and your smoker temperature. Low-and-slow barbecue depends heavily on time, and this tool turns three simple inputs into an estimated total cook time in both hours and minutes so you can plan when to light the fire.
The formula
Each cut has a rough per-pound cooking rate at a reference temperature of 225 °F. The estimate scales that rate by weight and adjusts inversely for temperature:
where W = weight in pounds, R = per-pound rate in min/lb for the chosen cut (for example R = 90 for brisket), and T = smoker temperature in deg F. A hotter smoker means a smaller \tfrac{225}{T} factor and a shorter cook. Hours are simply Hours = \tfrac{Minutes}{60}.
How to use it
Enter the trimmed weight of the meat, pick the cut from the list, and set your target smoker temperature. The default of 225 °F is the classic barbecue sweet spot. Read the estimated hours, then build in a buffer and a resting period.
Worked example
A 12 lb brisket (R = 90) smoked at 225 °F:
That is \tfrac{1080}{60} = 18 hours of smoking time.
