The temperatures are starting to drop here in the Mid-Atlantic, and the heart starts drifting to Cold Smoking.....for me at least.

I have had great success with smoking cheeses and cold smoking fish when the temps stay below 40 degrees. I use an A-MAZE-N sawdust smoker and the IT of the smoking chamber never gets above 45 degrees when the outside temp is below 40. I usually wait until it is about 35 for a high and the IT of the smoker doesn't get out of the 30's for salmon.

I was wondering if anyone has tried "Pre-smoking" fresh meat to be frozen and finished in the oven later in the winter when its not as conducive to smoke outdoors in 2-3 feet of snow and the temperature is in the low teens?

Thoughts?
