And no, I am not referring to lacing up the snow boots and dusting off the smoker in the winter time.
After seeing this thread, I got interested in the idea of cold smoking some stuff. So I looked around the site and began reading this one on some of the general questions it seems many of us have (or had) about cold smoking. I am still a little leery of the process. Maybe I am a slow learner, but I am somewhat lost in the concept. Is it really as simple as keeping the temp under 100* and using a source to generate smoke? Can it be too cold?
Is there a good book or other resource that you would recommend on cold smoking? Anyone care to school me (us) on the basics of cold smoking?
Maybe some starter recipes to try? I found this tutorial thread and it looks great, but this also brings up questions about curing (another mystical process in my rookie mind).
Anyone care to jump on this grenade?
Thanks
