Not safe to cold smoke.  The smoke will freeze before it adheres to the cheese and fall to the bottom of your tower. :D  :D  :D  :D   33 below?  Jeez, I thought I was cold because it's 6 above!

Not even safe for the Adult beverages. Momma bought me a 30 pack of cans and left them by the door. At -23 they froze and a couple burst. Most of the cans WILL NOT stand by themselves. I threatened to turn her in for Alcohol Abuse.

Let me tell ya Pens... +36 is very nice... don't even need a jacket on!  ;)

Only problem now is the frost is coming out of the roads and sidewalks making it very icy. Not that it wasn't bad enough before with all the snow we have but it's definitely worse. Of well... better enjoy this spring like weather 'cause it will probably be gone in a few days.  ;)

Ya just gotta take what ya get!  ;)

Giz,
You can harvest the frozen smoke and vac seal it for future use but you have to work really really fast! :D  :D  :D

Sorry folks,
Been in the 80s here and will continue for several more days.
By I mean, sorry that the high pressure giving us 80 is causing the jet stream to push way way north over the west coast so it gets really really cold before dipping down on the midwest and then over to the east coast.  :-[
