Give them a try, the smoking boosts the chilli flavour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HandleBar Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) How about these? As BakerBoy said the missus sells her pickles etc at Farmers Markets and Delis around Beds, Herts & Bucks these two are proving very popular Edited April 28, 2012 by HandleBar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pavman Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 What sort of smoker do you have pavman? Hot or cold? Hot very basic its a stainless over pot with a lid, i have a trivet in the bottom and put shavings under that and the food ontop and them put it on my camping gas stove it works but i think a longer cold smoke would be better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a cold smoke, you can't go far wrong with one of these Cold Smoke Generator they're the best invention for smoking I've seen in years. You fill it with wood dust, get it smouledrring with a t light and then let it smoulder - the box says approx 9 hours but I regularly get over 15 hours from 100g of saw dust. It doesn't produce any heat so you can use virtually anything as the smoke box, even a cardboard box if you wanted. I use a food grade oil drum (£8.00) with a couple of vents in the sides, you can see the smoke generator in action here Definately the best £30 I've spent on smoking stuff ever.
