Hello everybody. I just got into smoking cheese lately because my Grandpa let me use it old Little Chief Smoker for making jerky and what not. I have been cold smoking cheese late at night since the temperature is starting to drop again, but even with the cooler temps and the lid of the smoker cracked a lot, it is still getting to hot in the smoker. I have seen people build little cold smoke generators and I had an idea on how I would make one myself. I used a 1 Gallon Paint Can with screws as legs to let air get to the bottom holes along with 1/2" pipe and a small fish tank air pump, but it doesn't seem to be pushing smoke out of the end at all. My plan was to have the air go in from the top and past the Tee, causing it to pull smoke along with it and out of the end of the pipe into my smoker where the handle of the pan sticks out. Does anybody have any ideas on how I could change my design so it will actually work? I have the air line going into a 1/4" piece of pipe which extends past the Tee a little bit, and that is what I was hoping would draw out the smoke. I will put some pictures below, and for anyone who helps me, I would just like to say thank you in advance.
