I was looking at my old cookbooks and found one published by California Culinary Academy with the title: Barbecuing, Grilling & Smoking. It was published in 1988.
What I did not notice in my pre-WSM days was that the smoker they were using was a WSM.
There is a section on cold smoking. They put 6 cups of hardwood dust in a pan or castiron pot and place it on the bottom grill.
They then place 1/2 cup of hard wood dust in a skillet and put on high heat either with a hot plate or a burner. When the sawdust is blackened, they spread it on the sawdust in the smoker.
You then assemble the smoker with an empty water pan.
They claim the temperature should stay between 90 and 130F.
I've never done this, but it looks interesting. Has anybody done this?....tom
