Cold smoking is a process that, when used in conjunction with curing, preserves and adds a distinctive smokey flavor to meat. Some food products can be cold smoked and may not need to be cured like meat does. Cold smoked products can last for months without being refrigerated. Our patented ProQ® Cold Smoke Generator is a great little gadget that makes cold smoking easy to do and affordable. The ProQ Cold Smoke Generator is designed to produce smoke for up to 10 hours, using ProQ smoking wood dust which is of a high quality and sourced from sustainable forests.

Cold Smokers.
HOW IT WORKS.
Our customers say that it works fantastically in their Bradley Electric Smokers, Weber Smoky Mountains (WSM), Brinkmann Smoke n Grills, in fact It can be used in just about all existing BBQ’s, (even kettles provided they have a lid), Food Smokers, or any suitable container, such as an old metal filing cabinet, or fridge. Please be aware, that although the unit is a cold smoke generator, it does have a small area of very hot smoldering dust, so bear this in mind when choosing a container. Traditionally, food was smoked to aid in the curing process (this was before we had refrigerators) nowadays smoke is predominantly used to add flavour. Some cold smoked products can be eaten without having to be cooked, whilst others, such as bacon, will need to be cooked prior to consumption.

WOOD DUST.
BBQ Chunks, Chips and Dust. As a rule of thumb, fruit woods are mild while nut woods produce a much stronger flavour. Smoke, like seasoning, adds flavour and our quality woods will make the big difference. Chips make lots of smoke but for a shorter time. Use chunks for longer, slower cooking and dust for our Cold Smoke Generator.
