Smoking is fun.

Smoking to preserve meat, that is.

I was given a cold smoking kit for my birthday and plan to give it a go in the autumn when the air is cooler & I can hang meats up before (after dry-curing) and afterwards.

Anyone else smoke their own meats?

I would love to give it a try. There must be a huge world of meat and veg to smoke you just can't get in the shops.

Not sure about smoking veg, but yes: meat, fish and cheese certainly. I've just ordered some dry-cure salts via Amazon for about 3 quid, sufficient to treat 10kg of meat, though it may wait for a while until I've built the smoking chamber.

I used to work in the environmental health dept of the council and we got many complaints of families who moved into the area drying their fish in the clothes drying areas in high flats. Obviously not smoking them but preserving them never the less. The main complaint usually involved the line "don't they know what a freezers for?"

Different cultures, different habits I suppose.
