150 °F to °C
In the kitchen, 150 °F is medium-well steak, and roughly where the stall begins on a brisket.
Cooking charts round this to 65 °C — including ours. The exact conversion is 65.6 °C; the half-degree makes no difference to anything you are cooking.
The formula
(°F − 32) × 5/9 = °C
(150 − 32) × 5/9 = 65.6 °C

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 150 °F in °C?
150 °F equals 65.6 °C. Cooking charts round this to 65 °C. In cooking terms it is medium-well steak, and roughly where the stall begins on a brisket.
What is the formula?
Subtract 32, then multiply by 5/9. So (150 − 32) × 5/9 = 65.6 °C.
Do I need to be exact?
For pit temperatures, no — a smoker swinging 15 °F either side of target is normal and fine. For internal temperatures, yes: the difference between medium rare and medium is about 10 °F, which is well inside the range where rounding matters.
