Cold Shmoking..

[Easydrinker]

Ran what will probably be the last cold smoke of the season as the temps. are increasing.
A whole Salmon, a big chunk of mature Cheddar and half a dozen eggs.
My fridge is now filled with tastyness.

Game on sir !
Am smokin a 12lb Turkey on Sunday.
Have not used my WSM this year yet.
Lets hope the start of many happy
smokins and lots of fine weather.

[Mash]

Yum yum yummy yum.

I use an ice filled "cold finger" over the smoke to keep the temp down.


Seriously got to get some on. Good nudge Robert... Got my juices going.

[Easydrinker]

Hot smoked a chicken for dinner guests last week, and Mackerel for pate today.
Shmoking, I am loving it.

We have blast off, chimney lit.
The 5kg Turkey has been well rubbed and stuffed.
Hope that happens to me later
Just dont put me on the smoker.

I need to investigate this smoking malarky...

[Easydrinker]

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.

Smokers are like stills Brewhunter.
All different sizes, prices and styles.
I have a WSM, fantastic bit of kit.
Also have a small hot/cold fish etc
smoker also brill but a totally diff
animal.

[Brewhunter]

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

[gaza the instructor]

The baby WSM not to painful.But my saturn 5
is gonna costya. All depends on what your cookin.
Easydrinker I think is doing mainly small stuff,
like Fish eggs cheese and all those yummy things.
I put 10 large racks of ribs on mine 46kg in total
to feed 85 people.

[Brewhunter]

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"

[Easydrinker]

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

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

[Easydrinker]

Smoked Pizza Mash?
Why am I not seeing you yet competing on the Great British Menu?

[Easydrinker]

Tonight I have a 3 Kg Salmon, some sad looking Pollack,a pound of Very mature Cheddar and half a dozen hard boiled eggs Shmoking away.
First use of Apple wood sawdust.
Breakfast tomorrow is looking decidedly good.
