mark williams 7,558 Posted September 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 I`ve only used the pro - cold smoker but my word, what fantastic results ! I prepared the foods in their brine wash first, dried them, then put them in the cold smoker cabinet with the lit smoker. Close the door, then check every few hours, or so, if you wish, or go to bed even, whilst smoking through the night - up to 12 hours or as required. Yer pair of gits - on a beer here and now feeling hungry. Good fun lads and good luck atb 1 Quote Link to post

Greyman 28,799 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Hi mark I ended up buying one like greymans so I could take it fishing. At the mo Iv got a whole small chicken in covered with spices and hoisin sauce smoking with maple. Think monkeys could do a better job than me at the moment lol iv had to separate and refill the coal and chips twice so far and it's nowhere near ready. I'm looking to maybe get bbq style smoker next and use the side box as a fire box? so I can continually top up over the hours.... have had a shoulder of pork in salt and jerk seasoning for two days, arrived home just now and my parcel of wood chips has arrived so fired it straight up about 30mins ago, applewood is what I,m trying as its pork, but I bought the whiskey oak and cherrywood chips, will let you know tomorrow what the outcome is happy smoking Do you use charcoal to get it going then drop the chips on? got to be honest found it a right bastardo to get it going, but I finally think I may have it, and yes a bit of charcoal does seem to help, unfortunately I recon I may have to smoke a shit load of food just to perfect my technique, It took me until about ten last night to get it smoking then I topped it up at 4am then at 8am and have just fired a bit more in for the last few hours, not massively sold on those wood chips they seemed a right shit to get burning, so have ended up just using small sticks from my log shed, with a few lumps of charcoal, and it's working well, onwards and upwards 1 Quote Link to post
tomburras 2,730 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Next time I use it my plan is to get it going really well with charcoal and then top it up through the door as it needs. Iv seen some broken up oak whisky barrels I bet they would be good when broken up and fed in through the door! Mine was at 200.c for 4 hours. Quote Link to post
