Cold smoking bacon in a offset stick burner

[ozzz]

I have never made bacon and want to try it. I have a offset stick burner and I was planning on buying the A-MAZE-N tube or box smoker. How do I do it in the offset do I put the tube smoker in the fire box or do I put it in the cooking chamber below the pork belly. Also I assume you do not light any fire in the fire box and just let the tube smoker do everything. Any tips and recipes on this would be greatly appreciated.

I smoke salmon into lox on my SQ36 ozzz. I use a Amaze-N-Tube with pellets in the fire box and put the meat in the CC, works real good. I've always slow smoked my bacon, never tried cold. I'd image a few smokes over 3-4 days would work after it's been properly cured. Check the search function, bound to be something there. RAY

Yep just put the tube or tray in the firebox and you are good to go! I have a 11 lb belly curing as we speak. Used tender quick and brown sugar. 14 days. Soak in water for an hour. Let it dry uncovered in the fridge for 2-3 days and then a 12 hour smoke does the trick.
