Table top cold smoker

[lamar]

Although I can use my GOSM for cold smoking,  I decided I would like to have a dedicated cold smoker.    Picked up some metal racks at Wally World and built the cabinet based on their size.   I built it out of cabinet grade Maple lumber that I have on hand.

Done!    But wait..........I don't have a smoke generator!

Back to the shop.

Three hours later and a zillion holes drilled I come up with this:

And it actually works!!!

The WW racks are just the right size to fit in a cookie sheet.

Thanks for looking.

That's some nice work you did there! It should turn out some great cheese and such. I have a couple of those racks also. They work great for salmon and small veggies and also for cooling racks

.

Thanks reddog.  Those racks are very handy.  I foil a cookie sheet,  put one of the racks on it........put my rubbed meat on it and never take the meat off the rack when I put it  in the smoker.  Just put the rack and meat in.  Easier to put meat in and remove it that way.

That's a nice looking build. Shows some pride in your work. Added it to my list of ideas for a cold smoker project.

Just curious. What are you using for an exhaust pipe? On my phone it looks like a can.

 

[lamar]

Good observation........it is a can.  Whatever works!!

 

[gunkle]

Use whatever you can.....

 

[gunkle]

Sorry couldn't resist. Still awesome build. Gives it character.

 

[lamar]

"use whatever you can"..........a can is a can.

Very nice. I have the Amaz-N-Tube. I think I'll make something like that for my salmon. Thanks.
