I suppose if you had a shed and some tools you could make something simular, perhaps a steel pipe of around 2in with holes drilled in the top and fill half way up the sides of the pipe and heat one end, so you have basically a trough of sawdust, it might work :shock:
Theres got to be people with sheds out there that can come up with other ideas on the cheap :lol: :lol:
Wot about a small roasting tin with a heat source in the corner, crunch up some tin foil to make channels and youve got a near enough cheap version of the new cold smoker :roll:

Come on shed people lets here yer ideas :lol: :lol: gaz

The cheese was a suces, although I think it delivers smoke at a slower rate than the bean can did, so it could have done with a little longer.

3 hours and it had only got to the second corner. Put some of the oak planings through the coffee grinder, they look good and seem to burn well, just had a call from a mate from the pub who has got me a bin bag full of oak dust from some furniture factory he knows.

@ Tinca - there have been a few of us playing with the concept over the last couple of years, and in my opinion this is the simplest of all of themm well worth the money.

I think I said in the review that I thought a DIY version was certainly beyond my scope.

It's still going at this time of night, that's nearly 10 hours. I can't believe it, I can smoke meat and go to the pub and sleep. Who'd have thought it?

On the other-hand, I've tried grinding the fine wood chippings in the coffee grinder and reckon that buying the sawdust will be cheaper than buying a new coffee grinder! :lol:

How the heck does your nephew know what your pooch's privates feel like! ???

As he's 6' 3" and about 19 stone of solid muscle I didn't ask!

I believe that a somewhat coarser version of the saying has become a colloquialism among young people nowadays! Jumping Jehosaphat's, whatever will they get up to next! :lol: :lol:

Just a quick update on Ashwood Smoking chips at Kettering. I called in today and prices for certified food grade wood dust were:

Beech 15kg £8.95
Oak 15kg £9.95
Whisky Barrel wood 25kg £25 (ish)
Hickory 25kg £25 (ish)
Apple 25kg £35
Cherry 25kg £35

As the smoker uses 100gm for a ten hour smoke that's 1500 hours smoking for £10. I make that 2 months continuous smoking for a tenner. Maybe buying two bags was overkill! :lol:
