    Do electric smokers need an exhaust? Can they be used inside?

    Okie doke, I've got myself a big old wardrobe and because I'd like to try and get the mushrooms smoking and drying at the same time, I'm going to set it up like a dehydrator, with a bulb as the heat source. I am going to get my brother to help me make one of these: which can provide smoke and...

    Do electric smokers need an exhaust? Can they be used inside?

    Hi, Thanks for your response. I am hoping to just smoke mushrooms, salt and pepper. At the moment I am just thinking of doing this on a small scale- to sell at farmers markets and at my local deli's, then hopefully, if they sell well I can think about upscaling and trying to make a serious...

    Do electric smokers need an exhaust? Can they be used inside?

    Ok  gotcha! I read that it's safe to use the smoking gun inside. Can anyone confirm this/ explain why that might be? ie. Is it because its just a lower volume of smoke or is it that it's a different sort of combustion and so doesn't produce the same gases? Thanks once again!

    Hello from Yorkshire UK!

    Thanks all! By far the friendliest forum I've ever come across! To the UK folks: I've joined the group and will soon introduce myself... looks like I missed a good weekend meet recently! Rob can I ask do you cold smoke jerky before dehydrating? Cheers again! Charis :)

    Dehydrator mod: smoke and dry?

    Hi fortheluvofsmoke, thanks for your reply, I am hoping to make some smoked mushrooms to sell in a few of my local deli's with a view to expanding if they sell well. I'm also pretty broke, so I am wondering what would be the most economical way of doing this. Basically where I am at is that...

    Dehydrator mod: smoke and dry?

    Hi, Just wondering if anyone has ever tried modding a dehydrator so that you can dry and cold smoke stuff at the same time? I don't have a dehydrator so I don't even know if this would be workable. Any thoughts? Happy smoking! Charis

    Hello from Yorkshire UK!

    Thanks guys! Rob: I've never tried freezing them, I haven't even tried drying them yet! I have read however that if you want to freeze mushrooms you're best off blanching them (boiling for a short time, then chucking in cold water to halt any enzymatic reactions),- how this would work with...

    Do electric smokers need an exhaust? Can they be used inside?

    Thanks for the response. Do electric smokers have an exhaust vent? Could I just duct it away through a chimney or doesn't it work like that? Thanks again

    Hello from Yorkshire UK!

    Hello! I'm here mostly to pick your knowledgeable and beautiful brains! As a very small time smoking enthusiast (I've only ever smoked stuff on a barrel BBQ using a tin with chips in!) I'm researching taking a leap and getting a large capacity electric smoker so that I can produce and hopefully...

    Do electric smokers need an exhaust? Can they be used inside?

    Hi all!  First, please forgive my ignorance! I don't seem able to find the answer for this online which suggests the answer must be obvious but... what I'd like to know is can electric smokers be used inside? Would I need an outlet for any smoke remaining at the end of the burn? Thanks in...
