Yes.

No.

I have never cold smoked anything.

[Bentley]

I know, and here comes the arrogant super ego...I point that out in the 2011? MAK Performance Test...and I mean no disrespect to MAK, but I don't think they or anyone else considered that warming drawer for that until I pointed it out in the PT!

Depending on ambient temp, you could do both in the MAK side chamber while the main cooking unit is running based on my experience with my unit.

[Bentley]

I used to think that...I have come to believe that just burning pellets in ANY device that does not have some type of air circulation is just not a pure smoke!  White is not the same as Blue...There are things that Pellets are great at and others it is just not suited for without proper air movement!

But some like a super heavy smoke...if so, they would love the last batch of bacon I did.  To much thick White for me!

You definitely don't need a elaborate smoker or setup to cold smoke.  A large cardboard box and a amazn tube smoke generator.  Make sure the ambient temperature is low enough.  I like my pit temps in the under 70* but above 40* range.

It is one reason why I am looking forward to smoking the upcoming belly in this Series 5 Vertical PB smoker!  Forced air smoking with Hardwood pellets!  Thin Blue!

I mean, when you then cook the bacon in the oven, should it smell like there is a small fire burning in your kitchen?  That is how thick the smoke is on this bacon!

I am really happy that I bought this.

I'm so jealous Bar-B-Lew. When I can finally afford to get my 2 star I'm getting the super smoker box and everything I want for it right away. Then i'm going to do my crying . After the cry i'm going to enjoy it until the day I die.

Get the front shelf and the upper grates too.

Oh I'm going to! lol. Probably the enclosure door as well plus the grill grates. Still up in the air about the griddle, and still can't decide between the wifi or the controller. But based on my finances right now I have a long time to ponder these things.

I will take clean 150° blue smoke over white 75° smoke!

I agree on the clean blue, Bentley.  I couldn't get my A-MAZE-N-TUBE to generate what I consider quality smoke.

I once smoked cheese in my old original Bradley with the heat off and a tray of ice cubes inside but it didn't meet my expectations.  I don't like smoked cheese as well as plain cheese.

With that massive wide bit of burning pellets I can say yep!  If you split that into a thinner bit of pellets it wouldn't be so much.

White smoke is white smoke, whether it is a little or a lot.  Some like it, I have no issues with that, it is not for me!

That nueske bacon I had filled the entire kitchen with a wood smoke aroma. It was amazing.

[Bentley]

And was it pleasant?  This stuff was just not what I would consider a flavorful wood smoke...although 7 of 9lbs are gone...

I built this unit and connect the hose to a cardboard box, plastic jug, etc.

Does it make sweet smoke?

[Bentley]

I think the wood chunks might make a difference!  I am coming to believe that Hardwood pellets are just not an ideal wood for smoke for me when you cannot have some air on them!
