Question about cold smoking

[Danblacksher]

I have a cold smoking coil you use sawdust in and was wondering. I already have a warming cabinet for resting the meats I cook. If I got some metal rods and cut them to length does anyone know if I could use this to cold smoke in without damaging the warming cabinet? this would be an easy solution and I do make alot of sausages and hot dogs. Of course, I would put a big pan in the bottom of the warming cabinet to set the smoking coil in so no ash would get in it, and have the warming cabinet off. Thanks for the help.

You can cold smoke in any container, even a big cardboard box. But you have to have some air flow, so you need an intake & an exhaust. I don’t think you have that in your cabinet.

Thank you Al the gasket does not fit perfectly so I may play with figuring out the airflow. I can make a gap for the smoke to escape but sis not think about the coil needing air to stay lit. That really helps.

I agree with Al also the smoke will season your warming cabinet like it does your smoker, the inside will get discolored and seasoned. If you use and like your warming cabinet I'd find something else

That you for the help that all makes sense and I will probably go a different direction.
