    Success! Cold smoking garlic bulbs and garlic chips for seasonings YES!

    yes you are correct I miss-wrote; we have a use by date of 3-weeks. We keep no bulbs longer then that unless frozen. The chips are bone dry, can grind into dust. The dried garlic mixed with salt has a longer shelf-life.

    Success! Cold smoking garlic bulbs and garlic chips for seasonings YES!

     Hi thanks ...I got lots of help from this forum... Do note that we HOT smoke the salt. It's a better method to create smoke film around the individual crystals. We took an old oven pan to use as a fire box, then elevated a second oven pan over the fire box. The turn on the gas burners and...

     Is  Ok, I'm still not totally clear, the inlet is dryer ducting. So I need many large exhaust holes at the top of the smoker and none on the bottom?  ONLY cold smoking with a temperature between 20C-30C...so can't imagine 'heat' so to speak.

    55-gal., drum cold smoker..draft/ventilation...from total newbie

    Do I understand correctly that I need to create 3 to 5, 1+ inch sized holes in both the top and bottom of my smoker-unit (the vertical positioned 55-gallon drum) to create a  'draft' for good cold smoking? I'm smoking, salt, garlic and chilis. Will this reduce the wet drops inside? Will it...

    Cold smoking branches with bark.

    I know that I must remove the bark from the wood I cut for chipping, correct?  I'm using Olive, Almond and Carob wood here in Portugal. Also is it OK to chip the small branches with their respectively thin bark?
