Bull Cold Smoker

Has anyone found a Non Recteq smoker attachment that can be added to the 700? Doesn’t seem like Recteq is planning on restocking their product.

Hey @Humpy , love the avatar

It’s still on their site (Sold Out), so perhaps it’s a supply issue at this point. I have one and I use it, but if were buying a RT-700/1250 today, I’d pass. It’s really not a cold smoker as on the RT-700’s lowest setting it still gets too warm in the box to qualify as cold smoke temp. A smoke tube in your grill with the fan only running in manual mode gives some pretty good cold smoke results. What are you looking to smoke?

I like your thoughts on this here, Greg! I want to do some cheese.!

Just looking to cold smoke cheese, sausage, fish etc. it looks to be a nice add on. Now, I’m looking for ideas to do a DIY mod. Can you share the smoke tube design or a picture, that sounds like a solid idea.

I agree with Greg on this one. I have the smoke box, and if I were buying today, I'd pass. I use it, but as Greg notes, it's still too warm for real cold smoking, and I find that it's a bit small (I like to hang sausages and sticks, etc.) Also, I have found that the air/smoke flow in the box is uneven, which means I need to rotate things in there to get even smoke coverage. I have some ideas in my head for building something that is the size I want, and maybe I'll rig it to use the RT for smoke generation, though if I do build it, likely I'll just go with an appropriate hot plate to get the temps I want (typically 170 and below.)

I have the magnum PIG cold smoker by SmokeDaddy on my 700. May found funny but I haven't used it for cold smoking. I use it for added smoke to cooks. But it would work awesome as a cold smoker.

To be honest though, a smoke tube with the fan mode on on the grill would be a lot cheaper.

 

[Humpy]

Thank y’all for the advice! I now have some ideas as well. I’ll share once I put it in motion.

Search Amazon for smoke tube. You will find plenty of them, most between $10-$20

I ran into this a while back.

To me it literally looks like a smoker box with a soldering iron in it. Would be super easy to make your own.

Might even be able to drill a hole on the closed end of a smoke tube and mount a soldering iron there. Just throw in the smoke tube, plug it in. Obviously, cold smoking only.

We use a Smoke Tube every time we smoke Cheese
Winter here in northern Utah is the perfect time

OH .... String Cheese doesn't work, and Bree SUCKS
