It is a cold smoke so no temps are kept or is there a need to check it often.. As long as the fire is producing smoke you are good. We only check to place more wet mesquite/oak on coals...

i have never cold smoked anything but i thought that you had to keep it above 140 in order to keep bacteria from forming in the meat.... again i dont know anything about cold smaoke i guess thats where the cure or salt comes in?

You cold smoke in cool/cold temps...we prefer a blue norther where the temps are cold and the humidity is low. You can add cure if you would like as well but it is not necessary in sausage you will cook to temp on say a grill....

We do add cure to our hunter's sticks and get the fire hotter since we eat them without cooking...

ok i gotcha all your doing is adding smoke flavor not smoking and cooking at the same time

thanks

Nice thread. Is the bottom open or does it have a floor in it. Sorry I sent you a pm without reading all of your thread. I will have my carpenter start on my new one on Monday. Nothing better than homemade sausage..
