Semi-cold smoking in Treager with ice
« on: August 17, 2015, 07:38:01 PM »
Read somewhere about smoking bacon(belly) in a traeger.  This method said to put a large baking pan filled with ice directly on to the grills rack, then add another rack above the ice to put the belly on. Kind of a cold smoke idea. Makes sense to me so I am going to try it. Anybody ever try this?

Heard of guys doing that to smoke cheese in there Trager, seems like the ice would just melt instantly. let us know how it turns out.

Couldn't you just crack the lid with the lowest setting. This is my cold smoking tool for cheese and it's awesome.
Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

Well I gave it a shot..not all that impressed. It did keep the temp down a bit, but not as low as I wanted. Refreshed the ice one time during a 3 hour smoke. The bacon turned out great, tried adding some cheese (mozz. & Cheddar) but after an hour or so it started to sag/melt.  Oh Well
