Product Information

The ProQ Cold Smoke Generator is a fantastic new product which will turn your hot smoker into a cold smoker. Until now, hot smokers such as the ProQ, Grillpro and Brinkman ranges have been limited to hot smoking only, but now, with this deceptively simple product, you can create just the wood smoke without the heat to achieve cold smoking conditions. So, instead of lighting up your charcoal base to generate hot wood smoke flavours, you simply place the smoke generator into the base of your smoker, fill the spiral metal frame with your choice of wood dust and light the tealight candle to make the dust smoulder. Once the smouldering process has begun the candle can be extinguished and the dust will gradually smoulder around the spiral, producing cold smoke flavour for up to 10 hours. The frame holds approximately 100 gms of wood dust.

The smoke, less the heat, can be used to cure foods which, having previously been brined or marinaded in a cold smoking cure, will absorb the wood smoke to create a barrier to pests and disease. This has a preservative effect and although the food effectively remains raw it is safe to eat - such as smoked hams, saucisson or salmon, or can be cooked for consumption at a later time. This device will add a vast new culinary repertoire to your original hot smoking capabilities, though care should be taken to ensure temperatures remain below 20 degrees C where possible to prevent the food beginning to cook which will result in the loss of the preservative qualities.

Try with any fish, bacon or uncooked ham joints. Particularly effective with otherwise rather bland cheeses such as many cheddars or soft cheese such as brie. The possibilities are endless! Check out our first successful cold smoking session at the Hot Smoked Blog - we were amazed at the simplicity of the process but even more blown away by the results.

The product is supplied with 100gm of oak wood dust, tealight candle and full instructions. Further wood dust supplies are readily and cheaply available - just take a look at our Wood Smoking Products section for a range of flavours and sizes.

Measures approximately 6 inches square and 1.5 inches high.
