How can I cold smoke without any of the equipment?
I need to cold smoke a whole leg of lamb for a few hours. I have a barbecue and plenty of space, but none of the equipment for cold smoking. What can I do? I'm looking for a quick, simple, one-off solution
Best Answer
There are smoke extract products available, such as Liquid Smoke and others with the type of wood smoke flavor desired being specified. With only a few hours to work with, you may wish to inject the solutin to speed up penetration into the meat. Brine or marinade diluents may be options to explore depending on your desired outcome.
Even so, minimal " equipment " such as the injection syringe and a container with some means of covering for the leg would be helpfull, or at least a foil or other wrapping for the lamb to keep juice in and atmosphere out.

Use a smoking tube or maze.Fill them with hardwood pellets or sawdust, then light them with a small torch. They lay directly on the grill grate (there is no need to light the grill or smoker) and smoke escapes through the device's perforated sides, perfuming the food.Beginners Introduction to Cold Smoking Meat \u0026 Food
