Building a Cold Smoker with a Smokemiester Smoke Generator

- I show how I build a cold smoker box with a Smokemiester smoke generator so I can smoke bacon that is curing among other things. I selected the Smokemiester smoke generator because it is made of food grade stainless, requires no power, no air pump (it has a natural draft), runs on either pellets or chips, and has a long smoke time.
* I purchased the smoke generator and did not receive anything from Smokemiester in exchange for making this video* - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

The boy's eyes lighting up when hearing the word "bacon" made me smile. Who does not love a smokey piece of pork belly? 😄👍
Servus! Congratulations for the new smoker.
The kiddo is so cool!
BR,
Ovidiu
thank you
I'm very excited about this smoker. I've got plenty of pine lying around and building will be a breeze. Thanks for sharing.
Love seeing you back to homesteading.
It's good to be back!
Wow, that's JUST what I need, and it's the Beloved Hubby who showed me this video! Heck, it looks even simple enough for **me** to make it ;-)
It is simple! You can do it!
WOW you did a really great job building that!
Thank you!
I have an electric and propane smoker but have wanted a wood fired smoker like you built. Nice job. Anyway, I get new pallets from work, and now have enuff longer 2x4`s in which to cut 2x2`s from and the slats on the ones that I take are wide enuff and clean. Who cares if they already have a few nail holes in them. I will buy a Smoke Meister in lieu of messing around with a char coal BBQ and pipes. That is an excellent little unit and creates more than enuff for a decent afternoon smoke. The only thing that I am going to change will be to put a little slope on the roof, more of an out house style so to speak. And make a small chimney on top to adjust the smoke ventilation. This is exactly what I was looking for plus light enuff to be portable. Again, nice job and thanks because I am using your design. I don`t make a ton of sausage at any one time and will find a couple of old oven racks to fit in so I can also do fish, a chicken, brisket and cheese. I buy my meat from a Ukrainian Butcher shop. Double smoked pork chops and bacon. I am going to try and find a used bar fridge to marinade bacon in. I`ll be all set.
Impressive build! Looking forward to seeing how the bacon smoking goes!
I am going to make a smoke maker for my pallet grill
thanks for the video. just made a diy smoke maker.
Nice build!! Can’t wait to see that bacon inside
Great build and that will be some great yummy bacon.🥓🥓
Have a good evening 🍁🍁🍁
Great job!!
Looking real good. Cheers from Denmark
Thanks 👍
Excellent!
Thanks for the ideas! 🤗 I already have a large Ozark front loading propane cooker smoker. The propane is just getting too expensive. Living here in the desert, I figured why not use this thing at a large dehydrator because it's solid black inside and out, and with your idea put a smoke generator on the side and I should be able to smoke and dehydrate just about anything I want including jerky! It gets plenty of ventilation at the bottom around burner, two side vents and the top vent. Because it's solid black, here in the Mojave desert, the internal temp can get as high as 160 Plus. Had the smoke and the salt, bacteria hasn't got a chance. LOL I just need to figure out how to build a long slow burning smoke generator on the cheap, cuz I can't afford to Shell out $160 bucks for this one. SMH
I don't know where you are, but in Alberta where I am, solid wood shrinks in width, sometimes as much as 3/8" in 6" width in the first year! Sometimes very dry shelf material moves less, but common and pressure treated shrink that much across the grain.
Wow nice work Dan
Thanks, Brian!
How easy! Definitely going to steal your design 😀
Please do!
Just found your channel to nice smoker👍a built sheet of how much 1x12s and 2x8 is what I’d add a list and actual building size
One day when I have my own place, this in the first thing I'm building :D
Smokin Hot!!!!!
Just found your channel and this video.. first off love the build, we also like the bacon cure video. Your helper(son) is funny, needs to be in more videos.. so my question is what size 12x did u start with?. New at wood working, so trying to figure out sizes.. thanks looking forward to more videos..
Thanks for that feedback! The boards were 1x12x6 that I cut in half
How long are you letting it initially burn for before closing the lid on the stainless steel tube
Like this video, Only 1 question; Can I build this cold smoker also with plywood?
yes, you could. Just keep in mind that plywood is loaded with formaldehyde which does off-gas heavily. You might get a lot more than just smoke on your meat if you use plywood.
Would you recommend any sort of grease/liquid trap underneath?
it's a cold smoke so there shouldn't be anything dripping off the meat. It shouldn't be necessary
So do you have any measurements? I am a very visual person What modifications have you made? What kind of wood did you use? (Got wood tyoe) tyoe of fastners nails/screws?
it's pine common board from home depot. If you send me email, I can get you measurements - dan at grassfedhomestead dot com
What model of smokemiester do you have .I googled it but didn't see the one you have. I built a cold smoker and I love it,but I want to get the smoke generator outside the unit so I can get the temperature lower. Smoked cheese is Awesome actually almost anything smoked is good.
It's:
SMOKEMIESTER 304 STAINLESS STEEL BBQ SMOKER
with EXTENSION $159.95
@@TheGrassfedHomestead Thanks. I made bacon last year salt and brown sugar 😋 I cold smoke it and then finished it in my hot smoker for a bit. It was great 👍
Have you tried smoking eggs,,and then make deviled eggs, I use mustard and whole grain mustard and capers in them 😋
@@TheGrassfedHomesteadwhere did you purchase it. I cannot seem to find the product for some reason
just purchased that smokemeister this evening. had to have a friend do the actual order bc they only do PayPal...which I don't have
awesome! I hope you like it
Any idea what the internal temp is? This looks perfect for smoking sausages.
This is for cold smoking (not hot smoking/cooking) so internal temp should be cool
You do not have a floor in your cabinet it is the first one I’ve see open to the bottom have you tried using it like this and the results ? Peter
Yes, results were good
Did you make the smoker generator
I bought the smoke generator
could you use this build for cold smoking cured fish ?
I believed so. Just install some hardware cloth style racks and you'd be good to go
It could of been easier if you use turn and groove wood 🥰
Do you think you could put LINKS to things in your videos?
I do have links to things where they are specific items. This is just basic lumbar and screws from home depot. The smokemiester has a link in the video description
can you post the specs of the cabinet??? I am looking to build a cold smoker this size.
PUT IT OUTSIDE MAN OR ARE YOU WANTING TO SET THE BARN ON FIRE ?
