Set your oven to this

No oven dial has a 107.2 °C mark. Recipes treat 225 °F and 110 °C as the same setting — gas mark ¼ — and the gap between them is smaller than the swing of a domestic thermostat. Set a fan-forced oven to 90 °C.

225 °F is the classic American barbecue temperature — the "low and slow" setting for brisket, pork shoulder and ribs, whether in a smoker or an oven. On a metric dial it is 110 °C.

Frequently asked questions

What is 225 °F in Celsius?
225 °F is exactly 107.2 °C. As an oven setting, use 110 °C — the dial mark recipes mean, which is gas mark ¼. In a fan oven, set 90 °C.
Is 225 °F the same as 110 °C?
As an oven setting, yes — the exact conversion is 107.2 °C, and 110 °C is the nearest standard metric mark.
Why is 225 °F the standard barbecue temperature?
It is hot enough to render fat and break down collagen over several hours, but low enough that the outside never dries out or burns while it happens. The long window is what gives smoke time to build a bark.
