I heard George mention making one. How? I may just buy some dust and try.

The ProQ Cold Smoker works extremely well. I smoked this ham with mine.

The wood dust is packed into the ProQ Smoker. The dust is lit on one end with a candle. The wire mesh of the ProQ keeps the dust smoldering (to produce smoke) and doesn't let the dust burn too fast.

Simple but effective.

I had some trouble ordering one of these and got discouraged. I would rather try making one similar to this. Anyone have any ideas. Last year I used my smokey joe with three briquettes inside and some sawdust. Set on the bottom of my WSM cracked the top vent and opened the bottom vent wide. It worked well, but I had to monitor it to keep the smoke going.

This is a similar product, works the same way.
I have the pro Q & love it but the pro Q products seem to be disappearing from US market

Interesting.

But I would think the perforated dividers would allow 'burn through' instead of forcing the burn to follow the maze.

Shaun, what problem did you have?
