How to measure smoke density/capacity in switching smokers?

[austyn]

• austyn :
  Hi - I am moving from a Bradley six rack to my own hand built smoker which is four times the size. Any ideas how I can replicate the same smoke density in the new smoker from the Bradley. I am using a Pro Q maze which states that is has the capacity for units from 150 litres up to 500 litres. Any ideas welcome thanks
  austyn :
  Just to clarify even further - If I smoke a 9lb Pork Loin in my Bradley for 15 hours - how long do I have to smoke it for in my new smoker to achieve the same smoke and flavour?
  austyn :
  My Bradley is around 100 litre capacity

What is the size of your new build?

Welcome from Ohio! I honesty think this might be over complicating the process. In the new smoker if you smoke at the same temp and provide thin blue smoke until meat is done results should be very good. Are you an engineer by chance? :)

What is the size of your new build?

Its about 3ft width by 3ft depth and six foot high about 400 cubic litres

Sorry should have said earlier - Cold smoke only

Gotcha, first to admit I know close to zero about cold smoking. Plenty here who can help you though.

Not an engineer but running a fast building smoke house in the South of France - getting pissed off with the reliability and build of Bradley

Thanks anyway!

Thanks anyway!

Love to hear more about your smokehouse south of France. Perhaps you can tell us more in the Roll Call intro forum. Good luck with the new smoker.
