Default Easy Homemade Cold Smoke Generator with Pron

Hi All,

I made this CSG, I say made, all I did was push the middle of the sieve up to make a channel for the sawdust to sit in.
I have used this about half a dozen times so far and have been very happy with the results.

Here are some pics...hope this helps someone out who wants to try cold smoking. I use it inside my Excel 20 but it can also be used in a cardboard box, old tea crate or even an old wardrobe etc, etc,etc...
