    Smoking Canadian bacon in the cold.

    Wednesday is smoke day, but it's going to be frigid. It'll be ten days of cure, I used tender quick.. Can I wait till warmer weather or do I have to smoke. Was thinking of trying to find a welding blanket for the smoker. If I can wait what do I need to do. Oh and I have a offset smoker.

    Walnut

    I have a bunch of small slab wood leftover from the Wood burner. It's mostly oak hickory some elm and Walnut. What I was thinking was to burn down to mostly coals and then scoop into smoker as needed. Would burning it that way be OK. Ps I have a lot of slabs

    Help on cold smoker revamp

    So I tried cold smoking cheese last Christmas. Gave some to family and friends. Big mistake. Everybody loved it. So I'm using a mailbox and a 15 gallon trashcan. Going to a 31 gallon can. I bought new shelves for it, but I got charcoal grates instead of grill grates because they were...

    Does a person need to foil for pulled pork?

    I did one before and it took all day and half the night finally got tired and pulled and rested. Then pulled it and probably could have pulled 3 hours sooner. But thanks for the info.

    ? about cold smoking jerky.

    I have a mailbox trash can mod, was wondering what's the procedure for cold smoking jerky. Thought about 2 hours on smoke and then to the dehydrator. Assume I need cure, but more wondering on the smoke.

    using pellets in a stick burner. offset

    Started up smoker and threw some Traeger pellets on the fire. First time doing this way, thought might work. There seems to be a film on my meat now (Canadian bacon). It's brown and rubs off. Just curious if anybody did it this way and what maybe I could change for next time. By the way I...

    brining pork loin for Canadian bacon

    Ok thanks. Thought I read somewhere that if the meat touches each other you won't get a proper cure. How long do you usually leave it in your brine. One other question if by some chance I don't get it to the smoker right away is that alright or is it prudent to smoke instantaneously. Work...
