About to cold smoke some salmon. It's 35F out and rainy so humidity is high. I read somewhere that the cold smoking process doesn't work with high humidity and low ambient temps. I read a discussion also where people found that it produced a bitter smoke. I was going to just try using my MES with AMZN pellet box without the element on and hope the AMZN gets the temp up in the box a bit. But its so cold, wet and damp, I'm skeptical that I know what the hell I'm doing.
I got this info ->
It is difficult to cold smoke in areas of high
humidity. When relative humidity cannot be
reduced below 75 percent at air temperatures
below 85°F, then cold smoking is not possible.
