Cold Smoking Burgers??

[AdamG]

I was looking through the Project Smoke book and noticed one of the recipes says to cold smoke the burgers with hay for less than 5 minutes (while grill is heating up), then cook them as normal.

This got me thinking....🤔🤕

Would it be safe or high risk to cold smoke burgers with smoking dust for an hour or so and then cook later on in the day?

I have absolutely no knowledge on cold smoking and would rather get expert advice if its possible, a definite No or even if its worth the effort before looking into it.

Thanks in advance👍
