It's been a joy to get feedback from some of you regarding your thoughts on the ProQ Cold Smoke Generator and in some cases you've even done indepth reviews... Thank You!

Below are some of the comments...

My cold smoke generator arrived via US mail on Oct. 28th, 6 days after I placed the order. Your packaging was exceptional. Our average temp here in Wisconsin has dropped to about 45 degrees, perfect for cold smoking. In anticipation of receiving the ProQ I've had a half slab of bacon curing in the refrigerator just waiting for today's test. So far the generator has burned about 4 hours and the inside temp is maintaining within a couple degrees of outside air.

Thanks for providing a simple solution that virtually eliminates the unnecessary hocus-pocus that has developed around the simple art of cold smoking. Darus Wisconsin

Smoked Foods

There are 2 types of smoking, Hot and Cold. These processes are 2 completely different methods for preparing food. Hot smoking cooks the food, whilst Cold smoking is a part of the process designed to cure food that will, in most cases, be cooked at a later stage. No one can be sure of when it all started, but it was probably discovered, by accident, sometime during the Stone Age. In the case of Hot Smoking, you can imagine a group of hunters bringing meat back to their cave and hanging it above the fire they used for warmth. Cold Smoking/ Curing may have been discovered in this manner... picture freshly caught sea fish, being filleted on site and then left to soak in a rock pool for a few hours, before being returned to the cave where it was hung further away from the fire, possibly nearer to the roof, where the smoke gathered. In both scenarios, man might have been pleased with the resulting flavour (he may even have been given a hearty smack on the back, known as a pat, from the people sharing the meal, to show their approval). He may have also noticed, in the case of the fish, that the food lasted a lot longer, without spoiling. As with most men, he more than likely got impatient, whilst waiting for his meal and ended up by first moving the meat closer to the fire (Barbecuing) and finally, by throwing meat directly onto the fire (Grilling).
