    First Cold Smoke

    DougE, thanks that may be the issue, that and spending 20+ years sucking oxygen through an Oxygen mask are probably all contributors.

    Temp for Smoking fish

    OK, so see a lot of discussion about smoking trout and salmon and I suspect the same principles will hold for most fish. My question is how to keep the temp at 145-165 in an offset, or is that a fools errand. Would I be better off using my propane smoker and wood chips? I'm thinking a few...

    First Cold Smoke

    Mainly because she can smell things I can't, and I can't smell some things that others can. So.....

    First Cold Smoke

    Well, I can't smell things that other people can. So my sense of smell isn't what it used to be. I can walk in a pine forest after a rain and not smell the pine. That used to be one of my favorite smells. But interestingly I can still smell wet leaves in the fall. Strange.

    Used Smoker

    I didn't know that. I may look into just adding a fire box. Might be cheaper and will be a good interim smoker. Thanks.

    First Cold Smoke

    I did my first Cold Smoke today. Smoked Mild Chedder, Swiss, Gouda, and Colby. I did a quick taste test and to be honest did not get a lot of smoke. I smoked for 3 hours. Starting temp was 66 and end temp was 80. But my wife says I have lost my sense of taste, so may have to wait for...

    Used Smoker

    I agree, but not a new thing. I've had it happen many times on Craigslist and Market Place. I'll just be patient and something will pop.

    Used Smoker

    Well I spoke too soon. The seller changed his mind the day I was going to pick it up. So back to square zero. I love my Char Griller BBQ grill, so what is the opinion on Char Griller offset smokers?

    Coldest Outdoor Temp for Smoking

    So does the smoke tube generate enough heat for cold smoking or do I need to have a fire in addition to the smoke tube? I will be using a Char Grill BBQ for the smoking, smaller that the offset so may be able to closer temp control.

    Adjust Air Flow or coal bed?

    A Brinkman Offset. Not the highest quality and lots of leaks, but for the time being it will have to do. I found a used Oklahoma Joe on Market Place that will need a lot of cleaning before its ready to smoke. Also in the same purchase comes a "Smoke Hollow" wood smoker that I want to modify...

    Adjust Air Flow or coal bed?

    As a newbie I have watched a lot of videos about temp control and other things "smoking". When it comes to temp control, there seems to be two schools of thought, run with dampers wide open, or use dampers to control temp. So what is the consensus here. Should the temp be controlled just...

    Used Smoker

    Thanks for the advice. I have used Dawn on Vintage woodworking tools, and it really does work well. I am just concerned that the heat may have made removing it difficult, and the possibility that there is a lot of creosote inside the smoke chamber and fire box. I was actually thinking about...

    Coldest Outdoor Temp for Smoking

    Thanks everyone for all the ideas, so now I am encouraged to try a cold smoke. OK, well, the temp Sunday is going to be in the high 40s. So I plan on doing my first cold smoke with some cheese. I plan on not using my offset, but will use a CharGriller BBQ that I have. Its a pretty tight...

    Coldest Outdoor Temp for Smoking

    OK, maybe one of those "New Guy Dumb Questions" but what is the coldest outside temp I can smoke. I am thinking about doing some cold smoked cheese and temps here are in the 20's and 30's for the next couple of weeks. So, is that going to be too cold? Thanks.

    Used Smoker

    Just bought an Oklahoma Joe Smoker. Its pretty dirty and I need to do a deep clean before I do any smoking. What is the best way to clean these offset smokers? Thanks.
