Today I COOKED.

[Pro dude]

That looks awesome mate. The Vegimite sangas I have for lunch just wont cut it now
A chef gave me a recipie for Pork that I have given a go a few times over the coals,but It would work much better in a smoker.
Wild Turkey and brown sugar marinade and baste.
Be sure to test if the Wild Turkey is ok first

For those in the hunter, Babina on hillsborough rd sell an American product called Wrights Liquid Smoke ,which is distilled Hickory or Mesquite. About $5 a bottle and is superb on bacon ,ham ,pork & beef
Just a few drops for a really nice smokey flavour.

Hey, RJ

Does that Aldi smoker do cold smoking?

 

[Beagleboy]

This is what the missus prepared for her self. Does anybody want to guess what it is on her pizza?

 

[DrDuck]

Looks like basil or spinach, and ricotta or fetta to me.

Any smoker can be used for cold smoking.
But I guess you want to know if it keeps low enough temps. Short answer is no.
The gas burner keeps the temp too hot for low n slow cooking. I use a couple of heat beads in the tray that holds the wood chips.
It's time consuming for long cooks as you have to put more heat beads in every couple of hours.
For proper cold smoking I made the cold smoker in the video below.
Fairly simple to make.

Thanks Matt.
Smoked, slow cooked is my fav style of cooking... At the moment.

Wedding cake.
Well didn't cook it today. Marg and I cooked and decorated our wedding cake. My mum's recipe.
Marg had the vision and I just helped out.
Marg planned the whole wedding. Bought all the tableware, candles etc etc etc.
I just helped with the cake... Stirring the dough.

Rod,

Pray tell how you made your cold smoker?

I'm a smokey flavour fan as well.

Nothing better than a couple of smoked fresh mullet.

It seems that as the old blokes die off the harder it is to get good cold smoked fish or anything else for that matter.
I'm watching the election results & I think I will go out the back & slash my wrists after I knock over this bottle of scotch in despair ,

A cold smoker is fairly easy to build Pete.
Works on venturi effect.
You need a container for sawdust or wood chips, a fish tank air pump and some pipe.
My container is an old liquid soap dispenser.
Pardon my crude drawing in the 2nd pic.
A smaller tube is inserted into the larger T piece. Small tube must pass the vertical leg of the T.
Faster air being pumped thru the small tube creates low pressure in the larger pipe.
This draws air up thru a small hole in the bottom of the sawdust container.
Once you light the sawdust thru the bottom hole, there is enough airflow to keep in smoldering and smoking.
I get about 4 hours from this smoker.
There are many designs on YouTube. I have built another that can smoke constantly as it can be topped up.

Using this type of smoker you can cold smoke in anything...cardboard box, plastic tub.. Etc.
