British BBQ Society Forums

Hi,
Just came acrosss this site whilst looking for guidance on smoking and it is good to find a UK site where it is clear what people are talking about and you can get the ingredients etc.

I'm new to this caper, having just created an electric smoker using a hob element & a Brinkmann Smoke n Grill. Am looking to cold smoke some bacon before too long - hopefully this is an allowable practice in the Low n slow section?

Makes good reading anyway.

Welcome. Thinking of doing me some cold smoking as well. Let us know how you get on

Thanks, Stalled a bit at the moment as I'm trying to find some wood to use. I've found an old oak branch about 4cm diameter but it has bark & lichen so I'm guessing that needs to come off... Also not sure how much I need as I don't want to start & run out of wood!

Also concerned that my hob ring will make it too warm. I measured 21oC on the rack - doesn't sound good to have meat sitting at that temp for hours?
Cheers
