Well if you have ever followed my posting history then it would be of no surprise that I am about to attempt another mod for my MES smoker hahahaha. I have 2 in testing at the moment that I will post about someday soon but this is post is about a new one about to go into testing.
This is a Cold Smoker Assist Mod!!!
The Goal: Pull air through my MES smoke when cold smoking similar to how air is drafted out of the smoker when hot smoking.
If you've ever cold smoked you know that the smoke doesn't really want to travel so well like it does when you hot smoke. I hope that this bit of suction will help :)
The idea would be to connect the blower fan to the top of can that has the top and bottom cut of the can.
The combined fan/can would be placed over my MES vent.
When turned on, the fan would then pull/suck air up from the MES causing similar behavior to how air/smoke travels when doing a hot smoke!
I plan to put steel scrubbies in my mailbox mod duct joint to filter/scrub creosote from the smoke as to keep the fan from clogging on. We'll see how this works :)
I look to put this all into affect with an 8.5 pound Salmon Lox cold smoke this Friday night/Saturday morning (if the fan gets in that quickly) when I apply the 4 hours of smoke to the Salmon Lox.
Worse case it has no effect. I can't possibly see how it would have negative effect as I have already cold smoked Salmon Lox once before without this mod.
I'll report back with my findings, wish me luck! :D
