ProQ ® Cold Smoke Generator - BBQ Smoker Accessory for Cold Smoking

I have always wanted to try smoking my own food and I brought one of these several years ago and it is very good, I have some stuff going now for Christmas in fact!There are a couple of things I found helpful when using this:1: Clean properly after every use, I brought some wire brushes and gave this a good cleaning with them after every time I used it, no water required, just the wire brush (I found some that are toothbrush size that are perfect for getting in the small spaces), If you don't do this, the wire mesh gets clogged up with ash and the embers sometimes go out when they don't get enough oxygen, I found this out the hard way!2: Personal preference, but I use a blowtorch to get this going, the candle method was too time consuming for me, 10 seconds with a blowtorch and its good to go, I also check on it after 30 mins and 2 hours just to make sure it hasn't gone out3: You don't need an expensive Smoking Cabinet, I smoke using an old Metal Filing Cabinet with some holes drilled in the drawers to allow the smoke to circulate, all you need to do is make sure there is somewhere for the air to get in (I open the bottom drawer) and drill a couple of holes in the top of it as well, took me about 10 mins to do!

Looks like it should work well, and, now and again it does. Problem is it’s too hit and miss. You pack the dust too tight or too loosely and it gives up. And when it does decide to work, the tiny dribble of smoke it gives off is ridiculous. Been trying to do a side of salmon for two days now!

New to the smoking world but found this so easy to use. Lasts for ages and great results
