Temperature Guide

We recommend running the Oven Smoker temperature at between 120C-150C (250-300F) for low and slow indirect cooking using the water pan and baffle plate. Finished internal temperatures and cooking times for low n slow cuts such as ribs and brisket etc is a guide only. The best way to test if a low n slow cut is cooked correctly, is to probe it with a skewer. When the skewer pushes into the meat all over with no resistance, only then is it finished cooking. For pulled meats test by using a skewer and cook until the meat is starting to fall apart.

Beef

Use highly marbled cuts for pulled beef such as chuck, oyster blade, brisket and shank.

CHICKEN

We recommend cooking chicken at traditional roasting temperatures 180c. Low temp cooked chicken skin can be rubbery and chewy.

Cut Internal Temp Resting Time Total Cooking Time
Whole Chicken 74c 15 minutes 1 hour per kg
Wings & Legs 74c 10 minutes 40 - 60 minutes

Lamb

Fatty cuts such as shoulder are best for slow cooked pulled lamb, cuts such as a leg are best for traditional hot and fast roasting temperatures.

Cut Internal Temp Resting Time Total Cooking Time
Pulled Lamb (Shoulder) 93-98c 1 hour minimum 6-8 hours falling apart
Lamb Ribs N/A 30 minutes 3-4 hours probe to tender
Roast Lamb (Leg) 63c+ 15 minutes 1 hour per kg
Lamb Rack 62c+ 15 minutes 1 hour per kg

PORK

Choose fatty cuts like neck, Boston butt etc for pulled pork and leaner cuts like leg for hot and fast traditional roasts. Pork belly can be taken a bit higher in temp than a traditional pork roast.

Cut Internal Temp Resting Time Total Cooking Time
Pulled Pork (Shoulder) 93-98c 1 hour minimum 8-10 hours

Pork Ribs N/A 15 minutes 4-6 hours

Pork Leg 65-70c 15 minutes 1 hour per kg

Pastrami can be made from corned brisket or corned silverside. Brisket will need a higher finished temp to break

Great bit of kit

We have the ozpig series 2 under a patio. Only just bought the house and the pig so we haven't got it in a specific final spot just yet. But having these extra offset and pieces helps keep smell and smoke (not that there is much using nice ironbark) definitely recommend this kit for use under a patio. Plus fast and easy postage made buying them easy as. 5 Stars

Series 2 - a genuine belter!

Series 2 - a genuine belter! Loving my series 2! During my "burning in" tests it really does belt out some heat, one of the primary reasons for the purchase. Guaging heat, I've cooked a couple of hamburgers and some stove top coffee all with great success. My only suggestion is when you've finally decided to treat yourself to a piggy, super treat yourself and get as many of the accessories as you want at the same time. You'll want to use em and I guarantee you'll go back and buy them anyway. No sell, thats a fact, so go the full hog! (thats a pun) Great service, fast post and I'm genuinely looking forward to the colder weather kicking in.

Exactly what I was looking for

- I was looking for something wood-fired and portable that I could take anywhere to boil water and cook a meal on and that could also be my home BBQ. The Pig is simpler and safer than a camp fire and a great back-up at home if everything goes down. I’ve only done BBQs so far and I’m enjoying the added wood-smoke taste. Looking forward to cooking more sophisticated meals down the track.

Big pig - loving it

We love our big pig . It’s so beautiful to sit around having the large opening and we are loving the smoker having started making beef jerky . We had a baby pig but this one is hands down the best
