At Arden Smoker Supplies, when it comes to cold smoking, we regard the Bradley Smoker as the master of the pack!  The principle advantages of the Bradley models, which are especially relevant to cold smoking are:

• Cool Continuous Smoke  
  Bradley Flavour Bisquettes produce smoke with consistency and predictability.  Once loaded with bisquettes Bradley Smokers will continue to produce smoke for up to eight hours without supervision and without being subject to the complications associated with changes in the draft caused by unpredictable changes in wind strength or direction.
• Smoke Quality
  Because Bradley Flavour Bisquettes do not burn to an ash, there is a marked contrast with the results achieved when dust or chippings are burnt to create smoke in a traditional burn box.  Unless carefully controlled and perfected, traditional methods can easily impart a bitterness to the taste of smoked foods.

Bradley Cold Smoke Adaptor

It is worth noting from the outset, that regardless of the smoking equipment in use, if it is a warm day with a warm air temperature then it is going to be impossible to reach temperatures low enough for cold smoking.  If you want to cold smoke in the height of summer consider doing so very early in the morning, or even at night.

It is a fact that inside the cabinets of Bradley Smokers, even with the cooking heater element producing zero power, the bisquette burner, produces about 80 watts of heat. Although this is about the same as a light bulb, it can, under some circumstances, have quite a dramatic effect on the temperature inside the cabinet.  The situation is not assisted by the fact that the cabinets are insulated; which is great when hot smoking and roasting, essential even, but not at all helpful when we are trying to keep the temperature as low as possible.  

The quick an easily answer comes in the form of the Bradley Cold Smoke Adaptor, which essentially provides a method of burning the bisquettes outside the cabinet, hence removing any heat from the food whilst maintaining all the benefits of the Bradley Smoker system.
