Is it true that it’s bad for the smoker to occasionally cold smoke salmon in it? I’ve read the oils from the fish aren’t good for the smoker and can affect flavor on future cooks? I’m just wondering if coldsmoking a couple LBs of salmon a year is really gonna affect it. Any thoughts appreciated
While here in the Southeast we don't often have crazy cold weather, today it was 47, felt like 42. At what point does cold effect most modern electric smokers like a Masterbuilt 40 inch digital electric? Looking at getting a new smoker and trying to check all the boxes.
Having to finish my...
So, I thought about this question of never having enough bacon fat on hand. What about salting then coldsmoking pork back fat? Render that down and you basically have something very similar to bacon fat. Thoughts?
I have had my LBGE since 2010 or so and have only replaced a fire ring. I learned everything on that thing and still use it all the time. I had acquired a few more pits over the years but when I got divorced I sold the rest and kept this and the Smoke Vault for coldsmoking.
Personally I won't do it, and I have had fish carry over to other things.
If you're coldsmoking you can use a cardboard box over a smoke maze or tube, or a new garbage can. Just make sure to vent it with a 21/2-3'' vent hole on the top. I still have an old Lure Jensen smoker that I modded into...
Your brisket, etc sounds great to me. I'm sure they'd love it. Also it may not show off your smoking prowess, but good old hamburgers, potato salad and baked beans also sound great. And cold beer!
Have a great time. You sound like an excellent host.
Hmm
Never occurred to me to try smoking fish sauce.
Not familiar with your brand. Don't remember what brand I have in MN but it comes from a local International market that has a great selection.
I have Red Boat 40° here in FL. Beyond coldsmoking season here.
I built a small smoke house and have a steel wood burner to supply the smoke for coldsmoking bacon. I understand that its best to avoid galvanized piping. Can galvanization be removed by soaking the fittings in acid like vinegar? Is aluminum a safe alternative? Does the forum know of...
I got a pellet smoker this year and I was thinking about trying to do some smoking this winter with it. I have no plans on trying to do it in sub zero temps but I thought maybe sub freezing. Any suggestions on doing this, like gear or accessories?
Toying with smoking some Vietnamese fish sauce/nuuc mam, Co Bay Do brand. I know commercial varieties of smoked fish sauce exist, just curious if anyone has tried smoking their own. I figure I'll pour some in a non reactive vessel and cold smoke it with something mild, maybe apple. It's not like...
That’s great. Smoked sausage is delicious. But you will have to control smoke and you will have to control temperature from 120’s to 150’s as a constant. Otherwise explore coldsmoking options then finish with either a hot smoke or poach finish
You’re likely thinking of the builds where people keep the proofer’s original heating element and thermostat active to help with coldsmoking or holding temps. I’ve seen a few guys regret gutting the electronics because that insulated cabinet is actually amazing for resting briskets or proofing...
I was just looking at my smokehouse while coldsmoking bacon. I need to pressure wash it after I am finished with the bacon. 2 more nights of cold smoke starting Saturday night with the next cold front. Tomorrow it will be 84*F for the high here. I have been in shorts all week...
...and flipping every day.
We have had unseasonably cold weather the last couple of days so I thought it would be a good time to try coldsmoking here in Florida. I smoked with the cold smoker attachment for two night, approximately 10 hours both nights using apple wood.
What scares me is the...
...Masterbuilt, Char-Broil, etc., are essentially all the same. Much lighter materials than what you're describing, and still functional, if not spectacular.
I've used my lightweight cabinets for coldsmoking, for hot smoking, and for holding ovens. They work in all three capacities...
Hello from North Jersey (west of the 287 beltway). Retired. I just picked up a MES40 w/slow smoke attachment. As I write this I'm in the middle of coldsmoking salmon using a combo of alder/apple.
