That was some hickory and it smouldered for about 5.5hrs or so.

Thanks for all the kind words Guys, but, the real innovation of using a stainless sieve as a CSG was done by someone on here a while back....I can't remember who it was and I can't find the post now.
Whoever you are, you're a genius, thanks!

Very cool idea. 5+ hrs you say? How big of a sieve did you use? Sounds like something I need to try.

How did you ignite the sawdust? Did you use some outside source, or just throw a lighter to it till it light then blew it out and let it go? I am going to try this ASAP. I was going to go to the trouble to build a venturi cold smoker from a cocktail shaker, but considering how involved all those parts are to find I may just end up going with this if it keeps the temps super low.

With cold smoke, I'm guessing it doesn't matter much what kind of wood you use- pine, oak, etc??

Pine wood contains benzene a known cancer producing agent. Learned that in firefighters school. That is why we have to wear air packs when fighting scrap lumber fires. Any hardwoods should be ok. I prefer hickory when doing cold smokes on cheese, sausage. If you are not sure do not be afraid to ask questions here, we will assist you.

I just figured that since people always use sawdust, it must be woods like pine and cedar that are more often (correct me if I'm wrong) used in woodworking.

To light it, I just hold it over a tealight candle for a minute or so then remove the tealight and let it smoulder. I have found that draft is a big factor in using it....with the lower vents on the Excel20 open but the access doors shut I get ~5.5hrs out of it, with one of the access doors open I get about 3-4hrs (but it has been windy here).

My parents had a few huge pine trees that we took down and used as fuel on their chimenas (sp???) the soot and tar that was left behind on the inside was crazy....one of them even ignited from all of the tar - basically burning from the inside of the walls after the fire was put out. Mad.
