Found some matches.
Hi everyone. I just finished my first attempt at a cold smoker. I wanted to build it up from scratch so I did some research on "venturi smoke generators" designs. I decided to go with a high nozzle design. From what I understand its similar in concept to the Smoke Daddy. My version uses a baked bean can, plumbing fittings, and a wine box. Because of the wine box I decided to call the unit my S.A.D.A.L. BOX or the (S)moke (A)nd (D)rink (A) (L)ot BOX :biggrin1:
The SADAL BOX:
The First Test Run:
While I'm getting the generator to work, it doesn't seem to be producing a steady stream of smoke as powerful as what I've seen some of you post. It could just be that my wood chips aren't smoldering enough or my other theory is that I need to vent the box more. The box lid does leak (intentionally) but perhaps not enough. Before I go drilling holes in my nice wine box, I thought I'd ask for your suggestions. Let me know if any of you have opinions on the following:
1. Do I vent the box more?
2. What kind and size of wood chips/sawdust do you recommend?
3. Any ideas on a cheap but better wood chip container? I saw someone use a cocktail shaker and might go that route unless I can find something better.
I also plan on posting the design specifics once I get it fine tuned. I haven't seen anyone that really spells out the specific pipe fittings that work best for making this style of smoke generator.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
