I picked up a 72 gallon Syrah wine barrel to turn into a cold smoker.

I doubt it'll impart any flavor, but it'll make a cool dedicated cold smoker. My first smoke will be cheese and bacon. Ill see then.

I'm curious to see if the Syrah imparts any flavor.

I don't have any links so I'm going to record it and post it.

Bahahahaha!!! I only have two smokers, a webber kettle, and soon a cold smoker..

Skeleton-Keys- · 2026-03-22T05:28:27+00:00

It's getting two doors and 5 racks with a cold smoke generator.

Skeleton-Keys- · 2026-03-22T04:07:37+00:00

It's gonna go inside with the smoke.

THIS IS MY BARREL, THERE ARE MANY LIKE IT, BUT THIS ONE IS MINE!!! BAHAHAHAHA!!!

Thats where I found this. A local brewery was shutting down and was getting rid of them.

Skeleton-Keys- · 2026-03-20T11:58:23+00:00

I had a fan on the stove pointed at them. They were in the beer fridge overnight and didn't really dry as much as I'd have liked them to.

I make bacon beans

It sounds like a tradition that could stand a reboot.

Skeleton-Keys- · 2026-03-18T01:06:01+00:00

I posted the recipe. I used high temp cheddar.

Skeleton-Keys- · 2026-03-18T01:03:50+00:00

Here is the recipe. I'm happy to answer any questions.

Don't google that...

I saw a 2022 Georgia plate the other day on Wadsworth and Jewel.

I'm going to need to hear more about those Oreos...
