I'm new, but I'm learning, so...
If I'm understanding this right, a cold smoker is, in its most basic configuration, a box vented in such a way that a draft is produced and some way to introduce cold/cool smoke into the box.
So, for a small cold smoker (perhaps the size of a mini fridge), I could get the A-Maze-N tray and place it directly IN the vented box (not in contact with the wood, of course) and I've got a simple cold smoker?
For a larger version, it seems to me an external smoke source would be needed (more volume=more smoke?), so if I have a LARGER version of this box (perhaps the size of full-size fridge), an external smoke source (an old Aussie-type grill into which I've cut a hole in the lid to accept a pipe) and run that pipe from the grill to the box, I've got what amounts to the same simple cold smoker, just on a bigger scale?
Am I on the right track?
