Cleaning the Masterbuilt Cold Smoker??

Thanks. I have even tried the pipe, 3 feet. Still smells like an old ashtray. That is why I decided to try cleaning up the creosote and found this thread. I have a call into Masterbuilt to see how they advise.

What ever my cold smoker smells like does not not transfer to my meat. I have had nothing turn out tainted.

Thanks. But the last go had the whole fridge smelling like an ashtray. I'm trying to minimize that to consider the pellet trays. Never had an issue with long hot smokes, like pp

I have had mine for a couple of years & never cleaned it.

I put the chips on a paper plate & roll it up & add them thru the top of the chute.

Once in a while they will stick to the side, but I just push them down with a wooden dowel.

You need to separate the cold smoker from the smoker with a piece of pipe.

As the smoke cools in the pipe the creosote will stay in the pipe & you will get nice clean smoke into the smoker.

As a matter of fact the glass on the door of the smoker stays clean, I never need to clean it.

Hey Al.. I was thinking of getting the cold smoke attachment thru Amazon. What kind of pipe would you suggest to put between the MES and the attachment? I have the 3 inch flexible dryer vent hose for the mailbox mod, could that work? Thanks..

I used stove pipe, but I think the dryer hose should work.

I just use oven cleaner spray on my cold smoke attachment

Was using my cold smoke attachment yesterday and had the chips keep locking up and then no smoke.  I'll have to look at it and see if it needs a wire brush taken to it or something.  Useless if the chips keep getting stuck....have to keep an eye on it every half hour.  I was doing cheese and went out about 2 hours later and it wasn't smoking and the cheese looked like it did when I put it in.  Shook the chute on the cold smoker and heard the chips fall and it smoked like crazy again until they got stuck again.
