    Bacon Fail - Part II

    First let me say that I have never cold smoked a thing in my life, but in ramping up to my first attempt I have been going thru several of these posts. Just speaking to basics (and knowing that moisture is not our friend) here; with those long and winding tubes your fighting an uphill battle...

    Smoking dried red peppers

    A trio I smoke, Pasilla. Jalapeno, and Fresno's. I smoke them for an hour to two, then dry them in a dehydrator, blend them and finish them in a burr mill grinder. Makes for a wicked chili powder.

    Smoker Kart Build

    I have a Lincoln 175+ MiG machine, my first bought about ten years ago. I love it, very forgiving. Was around $750 when I purchased it. Have recently thought about upgrading to one of the new mutli process machines tho, stick/mig/tig all in one package. Miller makes great stuff too.
