Goodmorning Tom (tsguared),
Regarding your other inquiry, I've used both Taylor's and Polder's for years. Although not flashy with multiple functions, just your basic temperature and your high and low alarm I haven't experienced any problems with them as long as your careful (Exposing them to water ect.). Anyhow Polder's, it's just a call to your local C.N.I.B and they will deliver to your door for about $40. I year warranty and if you have a problem they are 5 minutes away and they handle the shipping.Regarding your cold smoking, if you where living here today it wouldn't be an issue with the windchill we're experiencing down here. Anyhow being that you are in God's country, ( I'm jealous )looks like you'll have rain for the next week just keeping it under cover and try to get some of that north wind on it, and along with the ice in a bowl you shouldn't have a problem. Keep in mind with no heat or little heat smoke adheres better, so error on the side of light. I generally do my cheese/mussells/devilled eggs ect., about an hour or so. Good luck with the cold smoking!!![8D]
