Any cold smoke experience here?

[theFlyingHog]

I've started looking at making my own pastrami and would like to hit it with the cold smoke. I think I could probably rig something up with one of my current grills and a coffee can or two, maybe something a little bigger. And some stove pipe.

Anybody done any cold smoking/made your own?

I want to learn and I have seen several good cold smoking setups.

The people where I bought my Egg showed my how to cold smoke on it.  She said that she smoked Cheese on hers all the time.

I'll see if I can find some links for you.


Why not just smoke your Pastrami low and slow?

I cure meats all the time, but on a larger scale. I'd love to try a smaller setup. Cured (cold smoked) 80 lbs of pork loin and 30 lbs of ribs this past december.

I was thinking I'd get the hot on it after 5 hours or so. It makes it more fun to cold smoke it some.

I've looked around a lot and mostly what I found was people using fish tank aerators and chit.

Here is an easy one for using your regular grill or smoker.

Basically a soldering iron and a can of wood chips

Very interesting. I've gotta give this a green light. Wish I had more fab experience but I can get it done. Cheese sounds good too!

Smoked Cheddar and Gouda are great.  Just pick a cool day and a semi firm cheese.

I made pastrami a while back and just used the low and slow method.  I need to make some adjustments but for my first try it wasn't to bad.

I'll try this with my Weber.
