I've picked up a pork belly and would like to brine it and then use the kettle to cold smoke it. I do need to buy a generator and pellets..thinking hickory. Questions are: how long should I allow for actual smoking time..hang it from a spit rod or just lay it on the grill..I'm holding off buying the generator until I can get an idea of how much time to allow for..suggetions for a non-elaborate generator..ambient temperature should be below what. I eventually want to venture into smoking butter, salmon, etc.
Never having done this before I'll appreciate any words/guidelines you can offer.
Thanks
