Currently I have a gas grill and a Weber 22" kettle. I would like to start smoking bacon and I would like a smoker for it. What are some suggestions for smokers? What features should I look for in it? Thanks. Rob
Cold smoking, not cooking.If you want to use a garbage can to cook in find 1 that's not galvanized or put down something to keep the heat from leaching the zinc out of the metal, don't want nobody sick , I would rather have a MES so I have a choice of temps and not a 1 horse show, coarse the garbage can can be used for other stuff also, like garbage lol
Naw, for cold smoking he's fine galvanized steel doesn't start to off gas until it reaches 392F.If you want to use a garbage can to cook in find 1 that's not galvanized or put down something to keep the heat from leaching the zinc out of the metal, don't want nobody sick , I would rather have a MES so I have a choice of temps and not a 1 horse show, coarse the garbage can can be used for other stuff also, like garbage lol
Thanks to all who have replied. I appreciate it.
Murray I live in southeast Florida in Royal Palm Beach. The temperature is usually in the 80's and 90's in the summer time. I didn't realize that I posted in Cold Smoke-Bacon. I saw bacon and posted there. I don't know the difference between cold or warm/hot smoked bacon. I will have to do more research. What is the preferred method to smoke bacon? Thanks. Rob
I smoked my first cheese in a cardboard box, with a soldering iron in a peanut can filled with hickory chips...Honestly you can cold smoke in a large cardboard box with an Amazon tray or tube. The bacon can sit on grates, or you can hang it.

I tried cold smoking in my Big Chief. I had to keep unplugging or it got warm.I smoked my first cheese in a cardboard box, with a soldering iron in a peanut can filled with hickory chips...
Hooked after that....
