How do these things work? I have some weird questions.
My wife and I are working on starting a bacon business, and one of the requirements for cold-smoking mandates that the product be kept at 41° or below for the duration of the smoke.
Since I don't live in Antarctica, this presents a problem for us 9 months of the year.
We're kicking around a few ideas, but I realized I don't know enough about the mechanics of these things to figure out what piece we would be potentially ruining with smoke.
One idea is to use something like a CoolBot and a window AC, and essentially build a walk-in cooler with a smoker placed inside. This has some advantages - if the smoke eventually destroys something, the AC unit would be relatively inexpensive to replace.
Another thought is to drill holes in a real fridge, and use a PC fan to force a draw out the top. Not sure there would be enough of a stack effect without forced air.
One final thought is that I have no idea what I'm talking about, and should ask people on the internet. Any ideas?
