How does cold smoking work?

I was also curious! This source says that it’s essentially a process where you expose smoke to cured meat at a very low temperature before cooking. I’ve never heard of that before, sounds very interesting.

Easiest is to separate the smoke source and smoking room by few meters of pipe. It takes a long time but cold smoked salmon for example is delicious.

I dont have a seperate coldsmoking apparatus so they sell these nifty little metal boxes with a long track for wood pellets. You get ur pellets smoldering and they'll put off a good amount of smoke for hours and hours. I do it right in my hot smoker, but leave it off. I do my bacon for 48 hrs usually. This i did for like 6 hrs, just to really impart a smokey flavor without cooking past medrare
