 |
|
I'm planning to start smoking foods. I was going to buy a smoker, but am deterred by the price. I just recently met Kipperman (Mike Smylie)
www.graphicsbyemail.com/Kipperman/index.html
at the Frampton On Severn show, and am now planning to build a smoke shed like his using free pallet timber. Antone else tried thsi before?
I have questions such as how to source free clean woodchips or shavings?...If I use my chainsaw they will be tainted with oil and spoil the flavour.

i tried to source wood chips because i was intending to do buckskins and they needed to be smoked
i managed to find a local woodworker who did all his stuff on a pole lathe and had some fantastic wood chips that were untainted
i would imaging that you would have to find something like that and that you would want apple or oak or something similar
now that we are moving i will have to start again of course............... |

Well, I know how to make a pole lathe, from my previous incarnation. The problem is persuading CP that we still have room for things like smoke sheds, pole lathes, etc, when house and garden and garage are already full...........

If you want to travel as far as Trowbridge, they used to give out huge blocks of shavings (I'm talking my shoulder height) for about £2 at the Airsprung bed factory. You'll have to hurry though because they burn it for fuel in the winter to keep them warm 
Might be worth ringing them to see if they still do it.
