I agree 100% that cold smoking should be "smoke without heat". For
some types of food a slightly elevated temp doesn't matter but for
others it ruins it. Cheese, for instance.
With Bradley equipment this is acheived by using the smoke generator
only. Hook it to a 3" pipe and send the smoke into a seperate
box that holds the food. Box temp will be no higher than ambient temp.
If you use the full Bradley smoker the temperature tends to rise
because it's insulated.
