Burgers

[JayBod]

Hi everyone. New to the crew and just using a smoker tube with my Weber grill to experiment. Have cold smoked cheese turned out great.
My main question is can I make fresh burgers, cold smoke them and then freeze them for the summer? I live in Canada and it is about -10 celsius so temp wise I should be fine.
Has anyone else done this with success?

As long as your meat temp does not get over 40° F /5° C it would be no different than beeing in your refrigerator. I do cold smokes like that over night on Chuck roasts to put in the crock pot the next day. I have never froze them after though so I'm not real sure on that part. There are a lot of people here that know a lot more about food safety than me though. Maybe someone else will chime in.
