This is my cold smoker. Blower driven.
It burns pellets and chips, uses very little fuel and can operate long hours without monitoring. (24 hours?).
Quality and quantity of smoke are highly adjustable.
There is a viewing port to observe the smoke condition before it enters the smoker. This is no need to open the smoker to check.

Yeah, kind of a crazy smoker. It is an indoor smoker, and it is also a working refrigerator smoker.
It therefore can cold smoke salmon, cheese, etc. in the hottest summer days, and it can smoke when it is snowy stormy outside in the winter.
The viewing port is illuminated to clearly see the condition of smoke.
The smoke goes thru a long brass pipe and cools down to room temperature. The centrifugal blower sends any condensation to the pipe walls by centripetal force and all the black stuff gets collected in an accumulator before iy gets into the smoker.
Temperature inside the smoker is controlled by a PID controller.

You have the right idea. This type of smoke generator produces what I call a clean or smooth smoke. I have a "cold" cold smoker also. Works great on hot days.
Thanks for the post.

While I have several cold smokers, (My Cold Smoking Options w/Q - View) my "cold" cold smoker is a converted milk cooler. It stays ± 35°, using a Smoke Daddy for smoke, the smoker IT can be kept under 50°. I'm certain any one of the three units above would do the same.

Thank Tom,I didn't see this post yesterday, I will make one for it. Do you have any pics I can go by?
Thats way to compilcated for me.I like it! I bet it works great!This is my cold smoker. Blower driven.

Actually it's pretty easy. Many parts are from Home Depot plumbing department. Fabrication is like 1/100th of all the incredible welding cutting you see all the time here.
The end result is worth it. PID temperature control means no looking required at all the entire cooking time. Motor driven cold smoke generator means no tending smoke fire either.

I've been doing a lot of fishing lately and have smoked Salmon that came out delicious.
So I decided to try my hand on smoking cheese.
Made a one yesterday using 2” conduit, ½” conduit with connectors and two fence post caps. I burnt the inside of the conduit using a propane torch to remove any zinc coating.
For the 1[sup]st[/sup] smoke with this generator I plan to cold smoke cheddar cheese in the Brinkmann smoker. I’ll post pics and results afterwards.

I have made a cold smoke generator also.
In my design, the air intake opening is adjustable and the smoke is driven by a variable speed small blower.
I have found that by adjusting the intake opening size and the blower speed, I can basically get any quality smoke I want, from heavy white smoke to very thin TBS.
Also, the quality of smoke is very consistent the entire smoking time. The fire seldom goes out. I have done overnight smoking many times with no problems.
