I need to cold smoke some salmon. Temp is 35F outside right now. For salmon it must stay below 90F (some say 95). Yet thermo only goes down to 100. Can I get away with the 100 setting without cooking the salmon or do I need to rig something up? Using AMZN pellet box. Should I just light up the pellets and not turn on the element in the MES? I assume that works great in the summer when it is 70-80 degrees. Just wondering if it is too cold to use the AMZN along. Although I would assume the AMZN will add some heat but I've never cold smoked before so I don't know if there is a minimum temperature. Quite possibly, very cold weather and the AMZN may be the perfect combo for cold smoking in the MES without having to rig something up?
Thanks
