My first try at cold smoking a couple weeks ago, I went 18 hours with an Amazen tube smoker. A little too smokey for me. Next one, I think I'll try 12 hours.


Andy, the Amazon tube smoker puts out A LOT more smoke and burns faster than the 5x8 pellet tray (I have both). The first day we had an abnormally warm day. Forecast 74, it hit 82. I watched it rise to 90* before I put a tray of ice in. It cooled off that night and the next day, so no problem as I easily kept it in the 60-70 range with the AMP. I cold smoked for 24 hours. The trick I found is to let it mellow for several days in the fridge, I was worried at first that it was over smoked. I was amazed how much it had toned down after 5 days. The longer the mellow period the less intense the smoke profile (to a point). I REALLY do not see how you can cold smoke gpforbme the temps get out of the the low to mid 70's, lower is better.
