Building a Cold Smoker.

Right ! Having seen Gordon Ramsey make a smoker out of a Reliant Van on TV the other night, I've decided that as I have nothing better to do I'm going to have a go at building one.
I've just been to the hardware store and priced up one of the dustbin type garden incinerators that featured in the programme. For anyone who didn't see the F Word, Gordon created smoke within the incinerator and then fed the smoke via a flexi pipe into the van. I've priced the incinerator at £19. 99p
This is just the start, so I'll return to this thread as things take shape with picures of course.

I'm not saying that it will work of course.

Love smoked food, especially fish.

Two smokeries in Orford, Suffolk, are fantastic

I've been reading up on it Alex. I've had a hot smoker for the last five years or so but have never tried tried cold smoking.
The one raw material that I have in abundance is wild rabbit. I'd like to think that I could develop a really good way of cold smoking it.

Love rabbit, never seen it smoked, go for it.

Smoked rabbit with a plum and onion chutney, cornichons and some crusty bread, I'd pay good money for that!

You can be my guinea pig.

Oops ! I hadn't thought of doing any of them.

Only thing with rabbit is keeping it moist.
Might need to lard it first, with a larding needle
Maybe make a rabbit 'sausage' and then smoke that?
