This is true smoking,and is followed by cooking, as it should. I have a
Luhr Jensen and swear by the same method. I think you have to cure most
meat with a dry rub or with brining with fowl and fish, if you're going
to leave in at that low a temp for a long time. I have brined
Turkey,smoked for 12 hours following,and cooked in the Weber following.
I'm interested that you cold smoke red meat for a long time without any
spoilage. Do you dry rub or salt to combat this? How long do you leave
brisket in the smoker at what temp. before putting it into the Weber?
Luhr Jensen is clear about fish and fowl, ut not at all clear about red
meat.
Cheers,
Kent
