    Cold smoking

    Is it best to light the AMNPS outside and when it gets going place it in the chamber then...just so the torch doesn't heat up the chamber too much.

    Cold smoking

    Hi, Yes I've smoked cheese very successfully with a smokin pellet barrel, but I was at the mercy of gusty winds the third time I smoked. I'm hoping the AMNPS will work well in an offset fire box (similar to the letter box I suppose) to keep the chamber temp as low as I can.

    Cold smoking

    Are you happy with your AMNPS Dan? I ordered the 5"x8" yesterday. Hopefully itr will do the job. As for draft...it seems as soon as there's a slight breeze the chimney kicks into action.  I thought the passing air current at the end of the chimney dragged the smoke out of the chamber. I'll need...

    Cold smoking

    Hi, Yes I'll try to take some photos tomorrow. I live in Queensland Australia in the Great Dividing Range, which is around 1400' above sea level.  Des

    Cold smoking

    I think you're right Dan. But some of the conflicting info is rather important and unfortunately different ones are saying the complete opposite to each other.  These smoke generators such as Big Kahuna and others seem to belch out a lot of smoke, but it certainly isn't the thin wispy TBS that...

    Cold smoking

    Hi, I think my biggest problem is that I'm reading so much info and taking in so many different ideas that the information is contradicting itself.  I had a wood chip supplier over here tell me that even cold smoking needs heat to induce the chimney to drawer.  If I have no heat being generated...

    Cold smoking

    Hi Dave,    At those temperatures how do we manage to send warm smoke up the chimney...I can't?

    Curing and cold smoking

    Ham is actually a process. There isn't really a cup of pork called ham, but after certain cuts have been flavoured and cured they are then known as ham.  In actual fact you could get a piece of chuck steak and put in in the smasher. Then after all grain is no longer recognizable (and the beef is...

    Cold Smoker Chimney Size

    Hi Dave, I've disabled the first box and have removed the chimney. It is going well at the moment, but I'll have a bit more confidence if it doesn't flare up when there's more wind about. Cheers.

    Cold Smoker Chimney Size

    Thanks  Dave. When I built the fire box I looked at a photo of a cold smoker around the same size as mine and he had 5 x 2.5" holes across the bottom of the door. I have been using just one 2'' hole but still the barrel flares up when windy. I'll reduce it down with a cover piece over it. Cheers,

    Cold Smoker Chimney Size

    Cheers Dave. Much appreciated. I'll take your advice and try to do away with the chimney stack. The reason for the separate box was to prevent the cheese melting when the breeze comes up and causes my barrel to catch fire and melt the cheese. I have the capability to just use the one larger box...

    Cold Smoker Chimney Size

    Hi Smokers, I posted this query about a week ago and no one has replied. As I am new to this site I thought I'd ask why it it so. Is my question too basic or silly? Did I use incorrect protocol or something of the like?   If I don't ask then I'll never know. Cheers Oscar

    Cold Smoker Chimney Size

    Hi All,  I have a two box cold smoker.    The first box I use to supply the smoke to the larger smoking box (3.5' x 3' x 1.2'), using a 3.5" transfer pipe.    On the small (1.5' x 1.5' x 1.5')  fire box I use a 12" pellet smoker tube and have 4 individual 2" diameter inlet holes.    These can be...

    Greeting from Oz

    Hi Pete, I'm 15mins outside of Toowoomba on the highway towards Roma. We're basking in 22degrees C. temps at the moment.    Don't know where winter is this year.   I'm in the process of replacing my smoker  (which burnt badly yesterday morning) with a steel one.   It's an old tool box, quite...

    Greeting from Oz

    Hi All,   I live in Queensland Australia, just 2hrs drive west of Brisbane.  I was reading some of the threads on the site and thought this would be a great forum to join.   It's all a learning curve for me as I've only been smoking for a few weeks.   I use a cold smoker to smoke different...

    Metal Smoker

    Hi all, I smoke quite a lot of Himalayan salt, garlic, pepper and nuts...all separately. I had a ply cold smoker until yesterday morning. I was smoking pepper and I'm thinking the wind came up a little too much and my smoking barrel got too hot, starting a small flame. Not too sure how but it...
