Hi- I've read a fair amount from this website about adapting the WSM for cold smoking.
Specifically, the idea seems to be cooking some wood chips on a hotplate in a cardboard box, then piping the smoke into the WSM to allow the smoke to cool. This just seems backwards to me.
Why wouldn't you make some smoke in the WSM (that is, after all, what it was made for) and pipe it into the cardboard box instead? No buying a hotplate, no ruining a cast iron skillet. It would seem easy enough to rig a cover for the WSM that you could attach the dryer duct to...
Any ideas why this wouldn't work?
Thanks
