I've got a 7lb butt covered with Hi Mtn Jerky Co. BBB dry cure.  Should I use my Traeger pellet grill and try to keep the heat below 200 and smoke to 140 internal or use my A Maze-N Smoker to cold smoke with no heat?  Ambient temperatures will probably be in the 40s-50s for the cold smoke.  Thanks
 
I'm betting you can do both if you like.  If properly cured a bit of cold smoke sure wouldn't hurt it.   Then you can bring it up to IT in the hot smoke
 
It's a personal preference. A lot of guys like to eat it cold so they hot smoke it to 145. We cold smoke it & fry it up when we want some.
 
Personally I do like Al Blancher said I cold smoke for several hours then put some heat to it and get it done so we can use it on sandwiches or as snacks
