A few pics of the pan fried testers before committing to the stuffer- I always cook a bit and taste first in case a seasoning re-adjustment is required

Direct from smoker.
Still needs to be cooked.

Aged white cheddar to 10% of meat weight


Was late last night so I cooked on this. Closes so cooks very quickly before cheese can all melt out.



About 5 minutes -caught it just as cheese was saying adios


Maple smoked about 3 hours- I like them juicy.
Cost was about $60 all in for 20lbs including Pork Butt, aged white cheddar cheese, peppers, cure,casing and Maple Bradley pucks

Hah! Reading this thread has made me more motivated to build a cold smoker. Any one have any plans or links to some good plans?

Thanks!

Smile Cold Smoker Build

I don't have any detailed plans on paper. Kind of just built as I went. Its build from 3/4 hardwood plywood with a formaldehyde free adhesive so it does not off gas. It is lined with mill aluminum sheeting that has no oil coating on it. Simple 110V element, used the A-Maze-N smoke generator and a PID controller from Auburn Instruments. It works extremely well for cold smoking! Had to play around a bit with the wood chips as pellets produced way too much smoke and there is no sawdust fine enough locally that would burn slow and consistently. Ended up wetting the pellets to break them apart, then drying in oven. Kind of a PITA, but the results are excellent.
Was working on a home made PID controller using an Arduino system, where I could monitor and change the temperature from my cell phone. Has 4 analog thermometers in the door to monitor temperature gradients, 4 digital temperature sensors, automatic temp bumps, etc. All works really well, but the PID part of it is not working nearly as good as the Auburn Instruments controller. Stay tuned. Attached are some pics. Let me know if you have any questions and will try to help. There are things I like and things I would do different on the next build....

Would really have liked to have gotten the online smoker controller working. Especially for those extra long smokes. Its pretty handy to be able to monitor and set temperatures remotely. I may pick up that project yet again to see if I cannot get it off the ground. Spent about 3 months writing the code thus far so it would be a shame to just leave it.

Thanks for the comment on the build!

Wow, that's a nice clean job! That smoke generator for saw dust: I have only seen that available from the UK. Does anyone know if it is available in Canada?
Thanks!

Thank you. Halford Hide and BBq Country in Edmonton both carry the A-Maze-N products. The last time I looked, they had both the tray and tube style smoke generators.

(J) A-MAZE-N Pellet Smoker (Cat#: BSAMAZEN58) - The A-MAZE-N Pellet Smoker (Patented) is a smoke generator that was created out of the need to Cold Smoke meat, fish and cheese. After months of testing, we found the perfect combination of design, materials and sawdust that gives consistent results every time. Even though it was designed to burn hard- wood pellets, it also burns sawdust. Can be used for cold smoking and supplement smoke during hot smoking. It performs very well all the way up to 275°F and up inside your grill or smoker.....$46.95 each. Page 78 of Halford's catalogue

I have not used the Tube smoker from A-Maze-N, but it is designed to used laid on the side in the grill. It can be used for cold smoking, and for supplement smoke on the gas grill, so I see no problems with it. The only difference is you may need to prop the tube up on something so it sits off the bottom of the smoker (unless it is metal), as the tray version has some standoffs on the bottom. The length of the tube will determine cold smoke time.

Made some smoked salmon on my Traeger over the weekend using the recipe found here: http://chocolateandmarrow.com/2014/0...smoked-salmon/

Got rave reviews for it and have some in my lunch for today. A nice change from the recipes that use a lot of soya sauce.

How many bottles of Tokaji did you use? Both for sausage and for refreshment. I used to be able to buy a bottle of Ashu when liquor stores were owned by government.
