Hot plate and wood chips question
MeatosBanditos
Posts: 259
A friend is looking at building his own smoker and asked me a question about will the hot plate be hot enough to smoke wood chips. I didn't know the answer so I thought I'd give the eggheads a crack at it.
So...
Will a 750 watt hot plate make wood chips smoke in a pie pan?
Thanks,
John

alton brown once did that with some salmon in a cardboard box here is the recepie
but it gives no cardboard directions but does tell you how to cure the fish

If I remember correctly, Alton Brown used sawdust instead of woodchips with his hot plate.

Thanks for the replies, they aren't quite answering my question yet.
The big question is does that hot plate have enough wattage to smoke the wood chips? And at what temperature does wood actually begin to smoke?
Thanks

Friend converted an old fridge into a smoker for cold smoking fish and the hot plate was too hot. He disconnected 1 element and worked fine. Did not need many chips with this setup for good smoke curing. Most time were 48 hrs or so if I remember right. (been about 20 years)
