Smoking food?

[Everything Mac]

Hi all,

I stumbled across a video on youtube about building a basic smoker. And now obviously I quite fancy giving it a go.

Does anyone on here smoke food? If so how do you do it - proper job or a DIY smoker? Should I stick to hot smoking or should I make something that I can cold smoke in too?

All the best

I built a simple diy cold smoker last autumn, fed an aluminium vent tube from an old kettle bbq into the bottom of a large gas bbq. Did a couple of home cured bacons in it. Worked really well and I plan doing more pig products this year, might try some fish and cheese as well.

I tried to smoke a gudgeon once back in the late 80's. Went horribly wrong and made me and my mate very ill for two days Great days.

Not much meat on a gudgeon, you must've been desperate.

Lol. I can only concur with what has been said. You must have been desperate or drunk.


Seems like an easy build but I'd wondered if any of you ugly lot had done it in the past?

I knew someone who tried to smoke some bacon but he couldn't get a rizla around it.
