I do simple also , all ingredients during a large food-safe plastic container and a few of pieces of clingfilm over the highest of it and a weight on top for up to 3-5 days depending how big it's , wash and dry it off then just cold smoke it for 12 hours. Works for my tastes.

I want to do this myself. It's easy to find the parts and will (I'm sure) work like a charm. It's Alton Brown's design: Start with an oversized terra cotta clay pot with a drainage hole in the bottom large enough to thread the plug of a portable electric burner through. The bottom diameter must also be large enough to accommodate the burner with a little clearance around the perimeter. Terra cotta is used for all kinds of baking containers, so it's insulating properties are ideal for smoking. For the cover, find a bowl-shaped terra cotta planter with a drainage hole for the barbecue thermometer (make sure you get one with a range down to 85-95 degrees). Be sure the bowl-shaped planter's top diameter matches that of the bottom and the top sits securely on the bottom. Get a sturdy metal pie plate to sit on the burner and hold the wood chunks of your choice. And finally, get around grill rack that just fits in the upper portion of the first pot (this is where you will place the item to be smoked.) The tapered sides of the pot will hold the grill rack firmly in place. According to Brown, these items can be purchased for approximately $50 - a bargain compared to a good pre-built smoker. And the electric heat source means you'll be able to regulate the heat accurately and without having to feed a wood or charcoal fire throughout a long smoking time.

I like Silver Birchwood dust to smoke all my meats, cheeses and salmon and find it quite mild and a less bitter in finished smoke flavour compared to another woods. So I now increase the smoke times i would do with say with oak by up to 25% to induce an honest balance of flavor for my and families' tastes.

It’s a Frankenstein hybrid . But will do the work . I’ve only got the little proq generator. But i actually like lighter smoking . Im buying an inexpensive oven tray with trivet £7 to put generator on . And underneath aboard I even have bbq grill sheets . Overkill for any potential burning embers . please please see , Top lighter smoke
