Thanks for all of the helpful comments. I think I have the problem solved. I drilled many holes in the bottom of the fuel cup and added 4 screws to use as feet and space the bottom of the cup off of the bottom of the can. That, coupled with attaching a tube from my compressor to allow...
I agree. I have an adequate supply of fuel as it goes out before all fuel is consumed. I suspect the culprit os oxygen and I am investigating ways to adjust the in-flow of air.
Thanks for your suggestion. I agree that one of the items you suggest would be easier although I believe they have to be adapted to cold smoking. After investing a bit of time on this project I hate to give up. I like to solve problems and see things through to completion.
I have built a slightly modified version of this cold smoke generator:

I have found that I cannot sustain a burn/smolder in this generator and am in need of some suggestions. I am using a brand new, 1 gallon paint can. I have...
I have changed the chip pan from cast iron to sheet metal which made a much better smoldering of the chips and much more smoke. I think the modification to the exhaust vent helped a lot too. Thanks for the good suggestions.
Oldschoolbbq:
It was really too windy to get any good pics of the smoke. It was light gray/white. It had a pleasant smokey odor as you would expect. It has seemed very thin most of the time. I can get my smoker internal temp up to about 225-250F which is all I really want. I have only had...
Is there a formula for the ratio of inlet to outlet venting? I am making a very rough estimate here but I calculate I have approximately 2:1 inlet to outlet. Wouldn't 1:1 be too much?
I am looking online for pictures of Little Chief smokers. If anyone has any experience with came could they...
I've come to the tentative conclusion that my new outle
t vent is too small. I made a new one with a flow control salvaged from an old grill. My air intake is the un-gasketed bottom of the fridge where the door meets it. I had placed a gasket all the way around the front of the fridge and...
Hi,
I am a relative smoking novice and have built and succesfully used a refrigerator conversion for one year. My heat source is a small hot plate-style element with an old cast iron pan for the chip pan. My current problem is that sometimes I will get a very brief run of smoke then-nothing...
Thanks for your helpful suggestions and comments. I appreciate it. I have been looking at pictures on eBay for this grinder and they seem to all lack the "cap". I am wondering if the threaded collar accommodates some other attachment. Since I got the grinder for free I think I can afford to...
I have been given a Keystone model 20 meat grinder. The kind that clamps to the table top. There are no parts with it. The crank, "impeller", and a cover with holes are included. The discharge is threaded for a cap. Is that necessary to function properly? Any ideas on attachments?

Thanks for the pic and comments. That trunk doesn't look anything like the stuff around here that folks call Tag Alder. I've copied below a post from a guy from MN. The post is from 2004, I think . He sounds like he is referring to the Alder that people call "Tag" Alder around here.

Here in northern Michigan the only alder I can find is speckled (tag) alder. It grows in abundance. I have read about alder being a good smoking wood and some threads mention the speckled/tag alder but none of the ones I read seemed to comment on the outcome. Anyone have any practical...
