Indoors with the windows open works for me.
It depends who you share your kitchen with.

You really have to find your own method, but as a rough guide, a handful of sawdust and 15-20 minutes will sort Mackerell.
It will beat anything that you ever bought.
Have fun.

Throw away the 'weight', or what passes for one these days with a pressure cooker, and the rubber rim seal.
Sawdust in the bottom,tin foil over that, maybe a cake rack or something, then your item, and the lid.

That is Hot Smoking.

I have a modified Bradley. Made a cold tube for it with a chiller. Make my own smokes.

Stunning cold smoked salmon.

Also does a nice hot smoked chicken great for ham/game.

Rubbish for pizza

My latest hot smoker is a retired domestic pressure cooker.
My cold smoker is a standard sized galvanised dustbin.

Small steps, This is how it works for me..
I get a small cheap one and get the Mrs used to the idea then BAM a new one arrives "it's the same just a bit bigger"

Those ones look really nice but I think I'll start with something a bit cheaper, seems to be a bit of a mine field

You do indeed!
It is like a secret kept by some that do, from some that don't.
It can cost very little and provide tasty food at a fraction of the store bought cost.
I am not hardcore, but it is now a part of my life.
