Bought a cold smoker to run in the bottom of my Bradley so I was not held hostage by the Bradley pucks.
It is called the Pro Q-cold smoke generator.
Decided to cold smoke some bacon today to test the performance
It is small about 6" x 6" and is a maze. You provide the initial start with a tea candle as per pic
A full charge is about 100g of wood dust and it is supposed to burn 8-10 hours.
I see some room for improvement in the design because the starter candle is too close to the 2nd run of maze and it jumped from underneath and was smouldering in 2 places instead of one. This shortened by burn time to about 5 hours, but now that I know I won't let the candle seat as deeply. As soon as it is smoking the candle is removed.
Decided to cold smoke some sliced pork belly that I found on sale. Gave it a quick cure.
Fried some up after a 8 hour cold smoke of Oak.
Overall very happy-but will need to find a way to reduce my wood chips to a coarse powder to make this run effectively.
Basically it cost me $10 to smoke unattended with Bradley pucks for 8 hours.
In the Pro Q it costs me 40 cents to smoke unattended for 8 hours
Plus I can sprinkle herbs, bark, tea etc in the powder to custom flavor my run.
So far I am pretty happy and just need to fine tune the technique for my hot smoke jerky run tomorrow
Really happy
