## 110°C

This is what low and slow is all about. Hardly any air is needed to keep your Egg ticking over. The top is one to a ‘cocktail stick’ width, the bottom about 5mm.

This is the perfect temperature for cooking all those [tougher pieces of meat](http://meatsmokefire.co.uk/recipes/beef/) that require you to melt the connective tissue.
