also, sadly my bradley heating element died today... searched the bradley forum and i guess its more common then i hoped... warranty covers it... but i was 1.5 hrs in on a rib smoke... now they're in the oven but i'm still kinda upset...

90 is the upper end for cold smoking. Anything higher you run the risk of bacteria and spoilage.

What are you using for your cold smoking chamber? If you describe your setup, one of us may be able to help out a bit more.

Are you trying to use an electric smoker at the lowest possible setting? I'm not sure they are designed for cold smoking.

tupacboy · 11-25-2011, 02:28 PM

you can turn on the smoking part only without the heating element.

my heating element died anways... but right now the chamber is full of smoke and temp of 86 degrees

You should be o.k. but I would keep a close eye on it and keep using ice to keep the chamber cool. I would also make sure the smoker is not in direct sunlight. The cooler the ambient temperature the better.

Good luck. Let us know how it turns out.

Hey...

50% one regularly priced item under $30 today (saturday) only at ACE hardware with coupon. Since it can't be used on sale items or power tools, it's a good time to grab things that basically never go on sale like the Weber brand accessories such as the stainless fish and veggie grate (reg. $25-29 ish) with handles or the BBQ wok (reg. $20-25 ish), stainless rib racks, etc... for 1/2 price if your local ACE hardware carries them (most do).

http://www.acehardware.com/coupon/index.jsp

Depending on your local Home Depot or Lowe's policies, they might even do a competitor match on the coupon. I know my local HD will.

Got a 7lb turkey breast on the smoker right now. Brined it for about 20hrs Friday/sat and then put a thin rub on the outside and wrapped in cellophane (did i spell that right?) and it sat in the fridge till this morning. Its now stuffed with apples and oranges and smoking over pecan at 240°. Other side of the family thanksgiving dinner is this evening so im excited since none of them have had a turkey done like this before (brined/smoked).

Scothew · 11-27-2011, 02:20 PM

And turkey is done, might i add its rather tasty!

Chainsaw13 · 11-27-2011, 05:12 PM

Sounds really good Scott.

Tossing on 3 hog casings of venison Braunschweiger in a bit for a buddy. I was told I might receive a bit for my trouble.

Funny, evidently I act like the other end of the horse on a consistent basis.

OK, this wasn't done on my smoker, but we did a pig for my brother-in-laws birthday in his new pig pit today.

I am stuffed!
