If you are not experienced with smoked meat, there is a lot to learn in order to have a great barbeque with a delicious main course.

When you choose Hugh Maguire, you never have to worry about common smoked meat mistakes because our meat is prepared right every time.
Over Seasoning
With so many great spices out there, it can be really difficult to determine the best combination to make your smoked meat shine. You have hundreds of options when it comes to spicing a rub. However, it takes many tastes and tries to find the combination that works best.
You can start simple with salt and pepper, but when it comes to adding two or more spices, you have to determine how those spices interact to create the best rub. Once you decide on your two basic flavours, then you must add new ones without going overboard. It is a lot of work to create a rub filled with delicious spices that complement each other perfectly.
Impatience
The main ingredient to perfectly smoked meat is patience. The process is very long and you will never prevail by cutting corners. The important thing is not to have the meat ready at a certain time, but instead to have meat that tastes great. This requires the right temperature and the right amount of time.
If you do not have the right temperature, the meat will not cook all the way through, or it will turn out burnt and charred. Rushing through the process and not allowing enough time for the meat to smoke properly is not going to work out for you either.
