Cold Smoking?

[miwico]

Bought these for making smoked cheese. Works good with pellets, a little tough to get lit but that may just have been the chilly weather here. Put this in any kind of grill with your cold smoked meat or cheese of your choice.

Back when I had an offset smoker I’d cold smoke in the winter by building a small fire in a coffee can and putting that in the fire box. This a nice little alternative.

Joel was the king of cold smoking. Wish he was still around on here. We chatted on LinkedIn the other day, actually.

Yeah, if someone knows about it please see if you can get the info from him.

That guy is such a pompous dick. One of the few people on here over the years that I truly did not care for and I’m glad he’s not around anymore.

This fat ex military guy who looked like uncle fester. I know he lived in NC at one point way before we moved to this state.

Fuck off beans, your persona is certainly as a pompous dick, but some of the locals there like you so I suspect it’s partially an act.

Classic.

How did the smoke tube work? I have one but have not tried it yet. I got it for cheese as well.

I made a batch of cheeses and they turned out great. Just fill it with pellets, ignite and let it catch for about 20 minutes and then go.

I used mine for the first time a couple of nights ago.
I always did the soldering iron / steel can hack.....and it worked well. I have the same 2 tubes, and my first try with apple was ok.
I ended up using a bunch of small scraps from the very bottom of a bag of apple wood. Was easy to light (with a big azz brulee torch)
Wood chips seemed to burn up more quickly than I thought and I had them packed in pretty tight.
I have some pellets showing up in the next few days and will do another round.

I've never been able to keep my smoke tube burning. I hit it with the propane torch, let it burn for ten minutes or so. Everytime I've tried to use it it has burned out. someone suggested lighting it in the middle as well, but I just gave up on it.

Aren’t you supposed to put it on top of a small pile of coals? Or would that not be cold smoking?

 

[miwico]

I got mine lit but admittedly it took some real effort. Once it was lit it was good.

Did 2 chunks of cheddar and 1 of extra sharp Vermont cheddar that the wifey likes.
Used about 2/3-3/4 of a tube of cherry pellets. Next up will be the apple.
Pulled them after 2 1/2 hours. Now into the foodsaver bags for a few days before tasting.
