What river in Hawaii did you catch a salmon in?
Are you making Nova Lox? Uncooked cold smoked salmon.
Cold smoking is normaly done under 80* but some opinions I have read on the internet say 100*. Supposedly meat dont start cooking untill it gets to 100*. In my opinion you can tell its done by...
Heres the most reliable remote thermo there is, the batterys never die because there arent any and it works in the rain too. Just look out the window and see if the needle is in the black zone.
Works great for cooker temps.
GOT14U I dont have one of those smoke daddys but I always thought they were designed to be a cold smoker for cheese and stuff. In my opinion you could put it on any sized smoker you want. The thing to keep in mind is that you want the smoker well ventilated so the smoke dont stagnate. The smoke...
Kielbasa, polish, is easy for a virgin to make if you have some casings. If you dont have any casings you could make a Jimmy Dean clone and make some nice fattys.
Mikey When I start the fire I leave a space, about 2-3", between where I want the fire to start and stop. And light it with a propane soldering torch that I modifyed for various things. A regular torch will work for this.

I had trouble getting a long post I atempted to submit, on the weber kettle vs offset thread, posted yesterday. I havent had any trouble getting it done since I logged on around 7 this morning.
I dont think a charcoal bbq can produce the same flavor as a wood fired bbq. When charcoal is pyrolized the oganic matter, cellulose and lignin, is converted into carbon which burns with virtually no smoke. The smoke is where most of the particulate matter and the flavor comes from. Charcoal...
Stakeman The first thing you need is dry seasoned wood. Thats the most important thing. Mesquite is very dense hard wood and can take a couple of years to dry properly. Top quality dry wood with no rotting is what you need. A little bit of bug damage is ok, but not to much. Your wood also should...
I always cold smoke my cheese between 1-2, generaly 1, hours and never do get the smoked look you get from the grocery store smoked cheese. Most of the smoked cheese at the grocery store is not smoked at all but sprayed with a liquid smoke concoction.
Sounds like it worked out nicely for you. I have been making lump charcoal for a few years with a retort similar to this one:

He uses his charcoal for bladesmithing but the concept is the same as charcoal for cooking.
I like to use oak or maple for...
