    How do I get the temp down for cold smoking on a Zgill 1000

    The way it sounds from everyone one that doing what I was thinking of cold smoking them and then transporting to the camp site is not a good thing. So to be on the safe side I will not do this. I been looking into a small portable smoker. But won't be able to get that this year.

    How do I get the temp down for cold smoking on a Zgill 1000

    How do I get the temp down for cold smoking on a Zgill 1000

    "As for more smoke flavor, you won’t get that very easy with a pellet machine, assuming that’s why your trying the cold smoke?" Yes that is one reason I was doing cold smoke for more flavor in my Pork Steaks and Ribeye's ect.. The next reason is that I heard you can cold smoke things like...
