Cold Smoking Tool

I just came across this, it looks really cool and supposedly works for about 10 hours.

Looks pretty cool! I've been smoking stuff with a DIY method involving a can and a soldering iron.
See here for a basic guide:

I'm curious if it generates much heat?
Brendan_Lee_56950
I would assume not much more than that candle provides. It's a cold smoking tool so it's not really designed for that purpose.

I realize that but cold smoking usually involves some heat. Usually somewhere between 75 and 110 degrees>

They advertise it for cheese so I would guess 100F would be the highest (hopefully) it goes.

They actually said it worked with cream cheese, that would take it far below 100F wouldn't it?
Brendan_Lee_56950
Yeah, like I said before it will probably not produce much more than the candle sustains since thats the only heat source.

A-Maze-N Products offers several other smoking options as well as a good selection of sawdust and pellets.
I have all of their smokers and can vouch for the quality.
Consistent and reliable smoking used to be a big chore, but these newer ideas in smoking make it easy.
I'm not connected to the company in any way.

I use the tin can and soldering iron. On a 70 degree day it stayed around 75-80 degrees in my kettle the last time I used it. Make sure you get a bpa free can or burn the can you plan to use. I fired up my chimney starter about 1/2 full of coals and set the can in there for about 45 minutes. Burnt everything off.

So, at my altitude pellets burn out in the maze , haven't tried the tube yet
because it seems that dust works really well.
Todd thought this would happen

The tube isn't completely weld proof if you sick a Swede after it,
Produces a lot of smoke though
DiggingDogFarm_65362
Yeah, the tube puts out a lot of smoke....a couple of them are plenty for my little smokehouse.
If you fill the maze completely to the top it may make a difference.....with pellets there has to be a certain volume burning for it to stay dependably lit.
If you do have to use just the dust in the maze, that's no biggy, I actually think that the dust produces smoke that's a bit better...sweeter smelling anyway, especially the hickory.

My main problem is air, I put both in, got the torch and lit
Most of it up, still burned out, picked up a fan from the basement that I put at an angle
About 4 ft away, presto - smoke.
