YOU need to learn how to COLD SMOKE RIGHT NOW! | How To

[@Heygrillhey]

You can get creative with cold smoking! Use cold smoked ingredients in ANYTHING you want! Keep in mind you don't need any expensive equipment to pull this off... I've cold smoked things with as little as wood chips and a cardboard box.

[@AB-vn9we]

What smoke setting do you use on your camp chef?

[@mathewhunt81]

anything? hmm, how about smoked chocolate chip edibles cookies?!?! yum! you bake it and it gets you baked?!!? haha. oops sorry. anyway, great video! i have one of those smoke tubes in the mail right now and cant wait to try these recipes! im going to try to do a keto version. thanks for the great information !

[@estebanpardo]

how would you cold smoke a tritip prior to sous vide it? you think it would be safe for a 2hour coldsmoke to absorve the smoke and then long and slow in sous vide? also, would you use rub prior to smoke, or will it be beter to rub after smoke and before sous vide?

[@gpolishuk]

Hi and Thank You for everything you do for us? cold smoking meat in this weather,then cook it in the oven would that kill all the bacteria from the cold smoking?I'm a newbie to the world of smoking

[@Stratman5150]

Thanks so much for this video! I just bought a pellet smoking tube and tried cream cheese and have been looking forward to trying other things!

[@rickyanke9407]

In cold weather ( 50F or less to help prevent bacteria) I cold smoke venison inside of a cardboard box. It seems to do a better job than on my gas grill. 4 hours with mesquite, then pop it on the grill until just above rare. I'm not comfortable doing meats at higher ambient temperature than that.

[@MullyAKL]

Great vid. I made a cold smoker out of a carboard box. Put dowels through and wore racks sitting on the dowels. Ice tray in the bottom just in case.

[@donnyarmstrong9559]

First off, we (my wife and I) absolutely love your videos! You have 2 big fans here in south eastern AZ! Secondly, I probably do as much COLD smoking as I do HOT smoking, so I am excited to see what & how you do it! Smoke tubes are the BOMB! "Smoke without heat"... excellent explanation! I have struggled to word that in a way that helps people understand this process! Late fall into early spring time is best here where we are. Excellent advice on the cheese, let it "rest' in the fridge for at least 10 days. I will typically wrap the cheese in plastic wrap and then in a ziplock bag. I am experimenting with vacuum bag & freezing the cheese. We want to have smoked cheese in the dog days of summer. Monterey, Pepper Jack, sharp cheddar, provolone are the favorites around here! Nuts (peanuts, pecans, macadamia, walnuts ect) & seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, pistachios ect), agree, let them "rest" in a ziplock bag for a day or two before presenting them to friends & family. Additionally, we also cold smoke, for about 2 hours or so, our jerky before putting it in the dehydrator. It adds smoky flavor that the marinade cant even come close to! I will do the cold smoking in my propane vertical smoker. Put the tube down in the bottom, standing up like a candle, and let it go!

[@alexmccamy6808]

Talk about timely. I was just thinking I needed to smoke some cheese. Thank you for reading my mind!

[@stewitruck]

Oh my! So many things to try.

[@rustynuggets]

thanks for the information. best 101 cold smoke video ive come across. i think im ready to go.

[@adkinsrob7269]

great video. another tip for smoking on a gas grill, which has lots of holes compared to a dedicated smoker, is to cover it with a fiberglass welding blanket which helps withhold both heat and smoke.

[@ashcosmo3854]

One thing I'd like to add with the smoke tube. If you position it on the left side this can throw the pit probe off.. if the tube starts to flame up you can even damage the probe. I like to put mine closer to the centre.

[@theteamtodd]

how about a link for the mats

[@pcfriese4570]

Love Todd! He reminds me of being a little boy, when I would watch my mom baking cookies! You guys are a joy to watch!

[@godjhaka7376]

@9:59 I love an effeminate man! lol

[@kennymysak2079]

Going to have to give this a try

[@-.Steven]

Great video! Thanks! As a plumber (not by profession, but necessity) I loved the "clicky flame torch" comment. 3:40

[@ericcrawford6646]

This sounds very cool! Can't wait to try it. Never once considered anything like this before!

[@ramirosaldivar4034]

Love your vidzzz babe 😘 ❤ keep em going!!! 💪

[@amospulley3442]

I just smoked cookies for the first time on my offset smoker, tried smoking the nuts and chocolate chips first and then incorporated that into the dough. Had too many to put them all in the smoker, so did some in the oven too. The ones I put in the oven I really could barely tell there was any smoke flavor. The ones I put on the smoker for 20ish minutes at 300 had great smoke flavor. Next time I'm skipping the smoking the nuts and chocolate chips and just putting cookie dough in the smoker. Save time, charcoal, and wood chunks. I used Royal Oak lump charcoal and Cowboy pecan wood chunks.

[@petejansen8098]

For some cheese going now. 3 hours apple for me. Vacuum sealed for 2 weeks is perfect for me and my friends. Great video, thank you

[@billdohteabaggins3548]

My Pellet grill doesn't give me a strong smoke flavor. So I installed a cold smoke injector. Works great. Thanks for the video.

[@RustyOutdoors101]

I have to try this ❤

[@brycefield4569]

Do you remember where you found those mats or what brand they are?

[@jimlarson3909]

Have you ever used wood chips in a smoke tube instead of the pellets? Did your smoked baked beans last weekend. They were a huge hit.

[@airford13]

this is just the info i needed about cold smoking! thanks so much!! eat a few cookies for me!

[@dingo5208]

BBQ season ends? Why? I use mine even in -40 C (also -40 F).

[@gamehunter07]

I can't wait to try these out!! I might even give some to Tara..... Maybe

[@lancelavallee8487]

You wanna jump your game with the cookies? Grab a fork, draw it over lard. Then dip it into sugar. Press tins of fork over cookie batter in a cross pattern. Reduce cooking time by at least 2 minutes.

[@MainahTony]

as soon as u r done smoking ur cheese, what do you do? i set on the counter for a little bit as there is some condensation and then wrap with parchment paper and also vacuum seal for 2 weeks. or do you take from smoker and right into the bags, into the fridge?

[@Heygrillhey]

I've got a whole write-up on cheese here: heygrillhey.com/smoked-cheese/

[@MainahTony]

@@Heygrillhey I'm going to try maple tonight while cold smoke bacon. I like the idea of wrapping in parchment, which I do, but you let it sit in fridge for 48 hrs THEN vacuum seal. I'll try that. Normally I wrap with parchment then vacuum and always wait the 2 weeks. And I'll use my heygrillhey butcher paper🥰

[@geraldmay7606]

Can you use wood chips instead of pellets? If so, should they be soaked first?

[@Heygrillhey]

Absolutely! Don't soak your wood chips. All it does is prolong the time it takes for them to start producing smoke, as all that water has to evaporate out before they start to burn.

[@geraldmay7606]

@@Heygrillhey thank you

[@geraldm7435]

@@Heygrillhey thank you for explaining that about soaking wood chips or not soaking wood chips. Where did the idea of soaking wood chips come from anyway? Lol, just wondering :-)

[@donnyarmstrong9559]

YES.. chips will typically last about half as long as pellets in the same tube. However, the smoke flavor will be a bit stonger, which is sometime more desirable. Also, if your able, stand the tube vertically, like a candle, it will work so much better, especially with the chips!

[@nikebro21]

Love your videos have you ever done ice tea in a smoker? I did it once and I can't for the life of me find the recipe

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Hello from northern Canada :) Love your videos some awesome new ideas, as I do my own butchering, make my own sausage and smoke some different meats, new sub : love your tips :))

[@geraldm7435]

Bbq season NEVER ends! :-) nothing like grilling and/or smoking on a cool fall or winter day...

[@s.daniel8016]

Thank you!

[@pensadorrealista2825]

Thank you for your explanation, I was cold smoking herrings for almost 14 days because I wanted to produce a high quality red herring with strong smoke flavour but unfortunately I found too much resin on a wooden rods. So far, I am still asking my self why that? Some one can help please?

[@twotut2002]

What kind of grill Matt's do you have? and where do I get them ?

[@Heygrillhey]

We just buy the cheapest ones we can get from Lowe's or Home Depot. We do that now because we'd burn through the expensive ones just as quickly.

[@bjornekdahl721]

Hi! If one wants to make a smoked apple cider, would you recommend (cold) smoking the apple crush or even trying to smoke the must when pressed?

[@Heygrillhey]

Either of those will probably work fine!

[@cmshilly]

where can i get the grilling sheets you used

[@Mrbink01]

I like to cold smoke with wood chips in a smoke tube rather than pellets.

[@thegrumpyolgringo]

Did someone say Cookies?? I love this idea of smoking the chocolate chips and pecans. I saw your smoked Pecan Pie, my mouth was drooling all day. This is a Win. Nicely Done. Thanks for sharing. 😎🇺🇸.

[@risasklutteredkitchen1293]

Is it possible to stovetop cold smoke items such as vanilla beans or cheese?? I would think not but I do not have a big pellet smoker. I do have a Weber charcoal grill (but it is broken at the moment) - is it possible to use it still even though the vent is broken and the lower grate is a bit broken (burnt and it burnt through and it broke). I have a a small Cameron stovetop smoker and would love to make smoked vanilla beans for syrup and extract.

[@hillbillywisdom777]

You didn't mention one of the best woods for the things that you are smoking, mulberry

[@NoneYaBidness762]

Just an FYI. I was very skeptical about using a heat gun to light my pellet tube. One day, my torch ran out of gas, so I used the heat gun. It really does work great.

[@pball1331]

Great video. Love Todd coming on camera =D

[@bigfranksworld]

Oh, you know I'm gonna make those cookies!

[@miket.3248]

don't you want to place it in the middle of the racks so it spread evenly?

[@tdotw4841]

Do you soak your pellets

[@Heygrillhey]

No! That'll ruin them for sure.

[@theilliniguy]

I couldn't find a cold smoked salmon video but did find the recipe. I'm a little confused about this part: "My smoke set up for this recipe is using a smoke tube and alder or maple pellets in my offset or pellet smoker (with no additional fire running)." Can you elaborate please?

[@Heygrillhey]

Buy a smoke tube from Amazon or somewhere and use that for smoke instead of turning on your smoker.

[@theilliniguy]

@@Heygrillhey Thx. I thought that’s what you meant but was a bit confused by the wording.

[@babyreps365]

Anyone's favorite nuts to smoke? Do they need anything added? Thinking salt brine raw nuts then smoke.

[@texascrossbowdude636]

I cold smoke jerky meat to get that smoke flavor before going into my dehydrator.

[@billdohteabaggins3548]

Great idea

[@texascrossbowdude636]

@@billdohteabaggins3548 I use a tray from A-maze-N pellet trays with mesquite pellets. I smoke for about an hour to hour and half. Really don't do more than that because mesquite can have a strong smoke flavor and overpowering.

[@donnyarmstrong9559]

Yup... best way to add additional smokey flavor that your marinade just cant match!

[@samuelhiggs9114]

Have you ever thought about doing a cold smoked chocolate fudge

[@Heygrillhey]

I have, but haven't tried it!

[@raygilmore3534]

I wonder what it would be like if you actually smoked the cookie dough? think it would work out?

[@Heygrillhey]

It'd be an interesting experiment! You'd probably want to keep the smoker even colder with some ice or something.

[@adamccurdy]

I tried cold smoking dark chocolate chips. It tasted horrible not sure what i did wrong

[@marklangren3142]

Don’t be afraid to cold smoke cooked items

[@MainahTony]

love ur videos as always. ive always cold smoked cheese using apple pellets. never thought of usin Pecan! great idea!! i like my cheese smoky usually go about 4 hrs im gonna try pecan next thanks!

[@mcconn746]

I loved the video but you did not show us any smoked cheese.

[@Heygrillhey]

Cheese is hard to show in a filming setting. After it comes off the smoker it has to mellow in the fridge for a long time and that makes filming it a little difficult.

[@timh8543]

BBQ never ends.

Try smoking an apple pie!! That’s a game changer……

[@jamesfleming1861]

If a tornado carries my grill away, bbq season is temporarily suspended. Otherwise it’s on.

[@corey1788]

Every single video I’ve ever seen on smoking any foods says you don’t want dirty white smoke or your food will be bitter. Every time I see someone use a smoke tube or similar device that is exactly what you get. How does that not make your food taste bitter?

[@Paramedic1025]

After smoking hard cheese or cream cheese vacuum seal it with food saver and keep it in the fridge for 2-3 weeks. lets the flavor soak in and it is not bitter. if you eat it right away it will have a bitter taste.

[@craftcastings723]

There’s a bunch of pretentious bbq/smoke folk. People need to try and do what works for them and stay off the snooty videos and forums.

[@brandondang7156]

True for All other applications except cold smoke

[@Jasonlords]

Are you the first person to ever smoke chocolate chips? Certainly won't be the last I can't wait to try it myself!

[@Heygrillhey]

Absolutely not! People have been cold smoking chocolate for a really long time!

[@dkeele]

Another great video! But I have to be honest, if you don't change the video intro music to Todd's version of singing the intro music, I may have to stop following this channel 😁 Todd you are a true triple threat my friend.

[@plantingseedsproductions4195]

I must have used the wrong kind of pellets. Cookies taste awful, like eating cold coals. What a waste of time and money.

[@darcy32171]

Just recently bought one of those smoke tubes! My question is: Can you cold smoke the chocolate chips/pecans and store them to use in other recipes? Or would you prefer to cold smoke them and use immediately?

[@Heygrillhey]

You can totally store them!

[@davidadausuel4537]

While I can understand your enthusiasm behind the cookies, there is nothing (holy ) about ( bovine).
