Thats a great way to say it on a PG13 board. In the service it would have been refered to as a certain colored object. LOL And no I would say it.

Foam that form of measurment is a RCH. Which on a micometer is about .008-.010 It was used in normal measurments in a shop I worked in.

Hi Guys

Apologies for not posting sooner.  Life got in the way and I'm unable to supply any q-view of the finished product.  It turned out great, I only smoked for 4 hours, then let it rest.  Tonight I tried some and it was gorgeous, perhaps a smidgen too sweet, but really good with a delicate smokiness.  I promise to get my camera sorted and show what's left.

thanks guys

Gary

Not sure if you've given up on the cold smoke generator, or finished the pellet smoker but i saw a youtube vid for a cold smoke generator that used an aquarium air pump to supply air to the chips/pellets/sawdust, seemed to work well. I think it wasfrom Australia or NZ.
