Not a good ideal making sawdust with chain saw the dust will have chain oil in it
Not a good ideal making sawdust with chain saw the dust will have chain oil in it
Any ideas on how to source/make the sawdust?
This was designed by a guy on another site back in 2010. Good write up on his efforts. Google cold smoking with pellets and a strainer
Cool! I have one of those rectangular ones. Well, actually the wife has one... maybe not for much longer?:twisted: i will probably try it with pellets though, since those are easier to get than sawdust (for me at least).
So I tried it with sawdust (hickory) and it fizzled out after 5 minutes. I'm going to try it with "wood shreds" and see what happens.
Nice one Garnaal!
8.5hrs is some good going too! What's your smoker, it looks nice?
Sorry to hear that Mate:sad:
Was the sawdust really compacted into it? Maybe if it's too compacted it might not smoulder too well??
Was there any draft?
Was the sawdust well alight before you took the tealight away?
I had mine go out after a few mins once but that was because I took the tealight out before it had really got going...I re lit it and it went along quite nicely. Hope that helps?

I had a problem with getting the sawdust to smolder at first. My problem was that I tried to light it with a torch from the top. That starts alright but quits after a few minutes. What worked was lighting it from the bottom through the screen. (sort of makes sense- heat rises) I was using a A-MAZE-N pellet smoker but it should be the same for this great idea.
