What is the 4 hour rule for smoking meat?

The "4-hour rule" in smoking meat refers to food safety, meaning meat shouldn't stay in the Temperature Danger Zone (40°F - 140°F) for more than 4 hours (or 2 hours by strict USDA guidelines), but it's often misunderstood as a cooking rule; the more relevant 40-140 rule says bring meat from 40°F to 140°F internal temp within 4 hours, with less time being safer, while a different method uses 3 hours smoke, 2 hours wrap, 1 hour rest. For actual smoking, aim to get meat through that danger zone quickly in your smoker and focus on target internal temperatures for doneness, using thawing and resting best practices, notes.
