    Cold smoking in cold temperatures

    Cook for a living??

    Sounds to me that you are approaching this with your eyes open and a realistic business plan in place. Remember that under capitalization is the most likely cause of early business failure.

    Cook for a living??

    I can't imagine a harder and more risky way to try to make a living. Trying to sell a perishable product to people with many alternatives is not the business model I would design.

    Wood Sausage Sticks

    Dowels come in many sizes all the way up to 1 inch. I just cut my own on a table saw. 3/4 inch and 2 feet long will support several pounds.

    Poultry Sausage

    I use poultry leg meat, skin and fat in any sausage that would be made with pork. It grinds best if it is soft frozen. This is turkey breast meat cut into chunks and ground chicken thighs seasoned and stuffed into 3¼ inch casings and baked to an internal temperature of 165°F

    Smoking in the cold - Sand? Insultation?

    The oven in your kitchen has about 2 inches of fiberglass wool around the top, sides and back and has an insulated door. My mother's cast iron wood stove had no insulation and could drive you out of the house when she was baking bread or roasting meat. If I were building a smoke cooker I would...

    smoke strength of woods?

    This site does some strange things when I try to post. I only use chunks of cut wood or smoking cured meat. I have used mulberry, apple, pear, maple, hickory, beech, and oak. Exposure time is a very real factor.

    smoke strength of woods?

    You may want to consider some black walnut, also corn cobs are good, Oak is a stronger smoke than hickory. Beech is a very pleasing wood smoke for my taste for cured and smoked pork but I don't know how it would be for smoke cooked meat. I had some succss with rosemary wood from a winter killed...
