If you'd like to know more about ADDING SMOKE TO FOOD take a look at the videos I have in my FOOD SMOKING PLAYLIST kzbin.info/aero/PLFG0csw8wik3i34DOOd9fhzP4_i0x6w8d

Would you kindly sell me some Beechdust ? lol

[@h4ppyleader]

Really good video mate thank you, what do you use to make the dust?

[@Coldsmoking]

I used to use an electric wood plane set on extremely fine and it would produce loads of fine dust. I now sell commercially via my website www.coldsmoking.co.uk but as we now do this as a business we need to comply with a few more regulations regarding it's sourcing etc. I no longer make it myself as we source from a wholesale supplier of commercial food grade woods for smoking.

Thank you for the great detail in this video I've tried now to make cold smoked salmon loxs twice The 1st time I got my sawdust to ignite and smolder but when I came back It had actually caught fire and burned to a hot smoking temperature I still enjoyed the smoke salmon but obviously it wasn't cold lol This time I have tried now I'm watching it closely and it tried to do that again I think I filled the smoke generator with too much sawdust so I have eliminated some and Continually working with it to get to know my smoke generator better I use a cheap imitation to the one you use thank you again great video I subscribed A question can pellets be used instead of sawdust thanks again

[@Coldsmoking]

there are some smoke generators that use pellets but they tend to have a pumped air supply. personally I’ve not tried myself. Thanks for your subscription and comment, appreciated. 🙏

[@hammertiming8423]

I'd suggest that before you smoke anything to run your sawdust generator couple of times just to learn how it works.. nobody wants to go to the smoker in the morning to realise generator went out half way.. i seen people making these out of the kitchen strainer

[@Coldsmoking]

good advice! always learn how your kit works. 👍

I've been recently trying to use my pro-Q with oak dust (pro q brand) but it really struggles. There's some very fine dust in it though, should i seive it or just use an easier wood??

[@Coldsmoking]

id mix it with some beech

[@stevenholton438]

I wonder what machine I can use to grind up my chips to your Beech size? I've tried Blender and Food Processor...even coffee grinder!

[@Coldsmoking]

i buy my dust in from the manufacturer. but if you’re not wanting to buy try a router blade on a block of beech.

[@stevenholton438]

@@Coldsmoking Would you kindly share the address please?

[@Coldsmoking]

I retail the wood dust myself on my website. www.coldsmoking.co.uk

[@stevenholton438]

@@Coldsmoking Thank you...but you don't ship to USA! Where else can I get some?

[@Coldsmoking]

no we don’t but i’m sure there is a supplier in the US… I don’t know of one personally but im sure someone on here must know.

[@aronmcintosh8000]

I have 1 from wish that cost £8 and never had a problem . As long as the dust is dry and the burner is clean it works every time 😁

[@Coldsmoking]

thats good!

[@janettemolin6628]

What about Alder? It goes out all the time

[@Coldsmoking]

mix it with a little beech and it should be fine 👍

[@viliusdoingthings8506]

[@Coldsmoking]
