OK... Looking for opinions and thoughts for a cold smoker I want to make.
Have been thinking about this for a month or so. My plan Is to build a cold smoker with 1" thick insulation board that has the "tin foil" (don't know what else to call it) siding on both sides. The smokeing chamber will be somewhere around 2'x4'x2'. All corners will be taped together with A/C foil tape. The door should be snug enuff to just close it. Will cut some dado's in the side walls and insert aluminum U channel (siliconed in) to slide the racks into and out of. It will have a 3" exuast duct out the back at the top.
Should I build a seperate little "Side Fire Box" for the AMNPS with a 4" dryer duct connecting the 2 together and use a little P/C fan ? My thinking for this would be to keep any heat generated from the AMNPS out of the smoke chamber to keep temps down. Maybe the "Side Fire Box" will have enuff air flow with just a 3 or 4 inch intake vent ?
Please let me know what y'all think.. Good, Bad, Or Indifferent
