Note: You can buy the wood dust in your local store
What should you do if the wood dust keeps going out?
1. Light the wood dust with a small kitchen blowtorch. You need to burn it about 15 minutes (relighting as necessary during those time) to keep a flame going and gently blow it out. Less than 15 minutes it was not enough flame to keep going
2. If the wood dust is damp, a minute or so in the microwave can extract the moisture.
3. During cold smoking, make sure to check the food every hour by lifting the lid. This allows fresh oxygen to enter which will stimulate the smoking process.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any problems!

Questions about Realcook 8" Cold Smoke Generator, Hot or Cold Smoking on Any BBQ Grill and Smoker, Perfect for Smoked Salmon, Cheese, Pork and More, Smoke Time up to 4-7 Hours
Q:
How much sawdust does it take to fill it? About how many cooks would a twenty pound bag last?
Answer: This holds about 1/4 lb of sawdust, so I would expect 18 hours of cold smoke
Q:
whats the best wood to use for salmon?
Answer: Hickory, Hickory, Hickory
Answer: applewood
Answer: Alder
Q:
Do you pack the sawdust in or keep it loose?
Answer: You do not need to pack it, I pour it higher than the edges then using a ruler or something with a straight edge, screed it flat
Answer: Did not pack it, just shake and pat down!
Answer: somewhat loose
Q:
What kind of blow torch should I get for this ? Butane or propane ? Does it change the flavor ?
Answer: The kind of torch won’t affect the flavor. You just need a torch that will light the wood dust. Once they are lit, it’s just burning wood dust and the torch is turned off.
Answer: No problem, you can use both torch. Never changes the flavor. Also you can use the short candle. Enjoy!!
Answer: I think either one should work. You just have to make sure that the embers keep going. I doubt that it would change the flavor. I used a propane torch and didn't taste anything.
Answer: Neither. Use a tea lite candle. Small candle that fits on that little platform.
Q:
Where is this made?
Answer: I’m not completely sure, but sadly I’m assuming China...

Q:
Is this for smoker grii
Answer: Sure. You can use it on any smoker grill, charcoal grill, electric grill. Please open the grill air vent to provide enough air during the smoking time. This 8" cold smoke generator can burn it up to 4-7 hours. Thank you!
Answer: This is for cold smoking meats, fish and cheese, it’s used at temperatures below 75°
Q:
Does it really take 15 minutes with a blow torch to start this thing? It seems like in 15 minutes you would burn all of the wood dust.
Answer: In my experience, once you get it burning with a torch (about 15-30 seconds) you can let it go naturally - however, blow out any flame that might exist after 15 minutes...the idea is to get a good portion of the material smoldering so there's enough heat to continue around the whole path.
Answer: I tried to start the burn on this unit . it never kept burning , it just kept going out. I returned the product and ordered a slow electric cold smoker.
Answer: With a torch like 5 seconds! Just need to start the outside end.
Answer: I don't know about fifteen minutes but it does take several minutes to get a good steady burn going.
Q:
Where can I get Alder sawdust? I only see chips
Answer: I made my own and used cherry! Order online?
Q:
where to find bech wood dust for smoker?
Answer: Why limit yourself to beech wood? These do work with wood chips or pellets...
Answer: i don''t know whereto look for it. maybe a woodwoorkin shop near you
Q:
Will this work with the “saw dust” from a chain saw?
Answer: The problem is that a standard used chainsaw discharges bar oil with the saw dust, so you'd be smoking your food with, essentially, motor oil and wood. If you purged it maybe. In. But best to buy the cheapest chainsaw you can get, and use vegetable oil as the bar oil...
Answer: It works best with sawdust.
Answer: Don't use just any sawdust. Use sawdust intended for smoking food
Q:
Does this require wood dust to keep burning, or will it work with pellets as well?
Answer: It works best with dust
Answer: no it does not.make sure it is completely dry otherwise it wont burn
Answer: I personally use dust
Q:
Does the saw dust in the parallel channel catch fire as well or will this actually just burn in one lane or channel only ?
Answer: It burns one lane for the most part. there is a little bit of lane jumping happening. Starting the fire with a propane torch was easy. than k
Answer: After trying several methods to utilize the smoke generator I have found that if you start with a one layer bed of smashed briquettes, light them with a burnzamatic torch. Let the briquettes get good and glowing. Place the filled (pressed down with chips) smoke generator on top. It smokes very well.
Answer: It does burn as one channel. You'll need a tea candle under it to start.
Answer: Don't waste your money. This thing is a piece of junk .
Q:
To use, just put it in the bottom of a Weber, instead of charcoal, light candle, and let it go for 18-24 hrs? What is temp in the grill?
Answer: This product can adds awesome smoke flavor to everything, like meats, fishes, cheese and so on. It is perfect for cold smoking and hot smoking. But the product does not the heat source. For hot smoking, you still need the charcoal.
Answer: It’s a cold smoke generator,, what heat? This isn’t for BBQ.
Product reviews of Realcook 8" Cold Smoke Generator, Hot or Cold Smoking on Any BBQ Grill and Smoker, Perfect for Smoked Salmon, Cheese, Pork and More, Smoke Time up to 4-7 Hours
Amazon Customer : Five Stars
Used it a few times works really well, hope it lasts.
Burne : Great....
Great item, eazy to use
Amazon Customer : Trying to get it to work
So far it is hard to get started. Using a candle does not work. Left it burning for 30 minutes bit nothing. I will try it with a torch. If that doesn't work I will be returning it.
Fray : Extremely Disappointing Purchase
I had to refill three times in twelve hours. After a quick check, the size is not as advertised. I ordered 13+ inches but I received ~ 12 inches.
Burne : Great....
Great item, eazy to use
Solomon : Make sure you use fine dry saw dust.
This was my first attempt ever at smoking anything. Worked as advertised. Got a slow cool complete burn. I used pellets that I had soaked and smashed and then baked at 180 for 4 hours to yield a dry fine dust.
David Perez : Works great!
Works great, lasts over 24 hours. Tip....use wood pellets to make the saw dust. Soak them in water, break them up, then dry them out. Works great!
bobTheObserver : Good Smoker
Using with sawdust I made from Pit Boss pellets. Today is my first use. It lights and burns just fine, but it also started burning the sawdust in the adjacent coil. If anyone has a tip to prevent it, I'd love to know what you do. I'm using this 8" model inside my old, unplugged Little Chief smoker to do a cold smoke. My goal is a thin line of blue smoke, and I feel I'm close. I adjust the door at the bottom and the lid on top to modify the airflow. Now I just need to figure out how to keep the burn from jumping because it gives too much smoke and gets too hot for a cold smoke.
To make the sawdust I use 1 Cup of the Pit Boss pellets, add 6 Tbl of water, stir and let it sit for a few minutes. Then stir a few times. The pellets turn to sawdust very easily. Then I spread the moist sawdust on 1 or 2 cookie sheets and put into a warm oven (170F) for an hour. Stir it a couple of time during that hour. Any excess is stored in a sealed mason jar and then heated in the microwave a minute or two to make sure it is bone dry before using.

Adramalech : Easy to use
Great tool for cold smoking. Super easy to use and get great results.
Amazon Customer : Never stays lit.
It was even recommended for me to dry the sawdust in the oven first and still would not stay lit.
Christopher : GREAT!
I don’t know what anybody else is talking about this thing not working but if you put the correct items in there and do exactly what it says it will be fine I was actually able to make this with a stick like without using the candle this thing is and absolute wonder to cold smoke. It kept my smoker 2 1/2 days
Chris Michael : Difficult to keep lit
I have only used this product once with specially purchased bone dry apple wood sawdust. So far, over two hours, I have had to relight it 8 times. When first lit it produces an adequate amount of smoke which then tapers off over 10 minutes or so to an amount inadequate for cold smoking. I am looking for other options.

Guenter S. : Smoked reliably for 12 hrs
I had a different smoke generator before, but it got too hot in my BBQ grill. This one did a perfect job for cold smoking in a typical gas grill.
Hotena : Must use dry and small sawdust or it will not work
Must Use dry sawdust to work . TIP if you need more smoke light up from the end and the center at the sametime . Also you can use hair dryer to egnite sawdust faster to the max till you see a flame .
KO : Damage product
Second time in row product is damaged upon arrival.

TB : There are better products to use when smoking foods.
On multiple attempts I've been unable to keep the ash lit. I used a 5 hour tea light as well as a blowtorch and was unable to keep the ash burning. If there's a "secret" to it then I wish someone would share it.....otherwise save your money. Sorry...but I can't recommend this product at any price and if I was able to return it I would.
Yonny : DOESN'T WORK
HORRIBLE PRODUCT
DOESN'T SMOKE , THE BURNING PROCESS DOESN'T START
MONEY FOR NOTHING

Handyman : Great smoke generator
I found that once lit it jumps over and the next coil lights .burn time is reduced

Amazon Customer : Very long smoking time with good sawdust
I bought this 13" smoker, because I already own several smaller ones. Those need more attention, because they finished too soon for my taste.
I tested it first time in a couple days ago, and it is STILL SMOKING! I have excellent dry beech wood sawdust with some juniper berry mixed with it. Looks like this fine dust will reach the 48 hours mark I had in my whislist (only 2 hours left).
I prefer beech wood, because it is not easy to find good quality cherry or hickory in this fine grade.
I recommend it for some long term cold smoking.

Amazon Customer : Sturdy, works well.
Seems to be well made, the only change I’d make would be to make the handles folding.
It is very finicky about the size of sawdust used, the finer the better. To get the tea light to work I had to process the sawdust in a coffee grinder.

Anonymous002238 : Such a pain in the butt to light.
Either this thing doesn’t work well, or they just don’t work with green eggs. Been trying to get this to stay lite all night with my vitamin torches. Lame.
Nikolay Yakshin : cold smokr generator
works amazingly. just wish that the metal was a bit thicker and more rigid.
Amazon Customer : Five Stars
Used it a few times works really well, hope it lasts.
SARGIS AGAZARYAN : very good
a +
LynnB : Does NOT stay lit or it burns up. NO SMOKE.
This does NOT stay lit. I've used it on at least a dozen cooks and it either does NOT stay lit and smoke, or it just burns up. It got so hot it burned the paint off the top of my grill lid. Had I thought about return, I'd have done so, but am now 5 days too late.
The zig zag square "maze" works so much better even though they both are the same concept.

Amazon Customer : Use with fine sawdust
It was a gift but we purchased one previously and it works great with very fine sawdust
j : Know how to use before rating/buying
I read numerous reviews so i knew how to use it out of the box. Used butane to start. Using in an upright electric smoker. Pork shoulder. I followed instructions putting pellets into water and drying in oven at 175 for a few hours. I opened the door to let the moisture out and stirred up the saw dust to speed up the process. Good product. Cant wait to continue use!
Amazon Customer : Ineffective.
Difficult to light and keep burning.
Bryon Hess : Works great... with pellets.
I use smoking pellets rather than saw dust. Works great and makes a lot of smoke. I would not recommend using saw dust in it. Saw dust settles too easy into a dense pack, leaving less air circulation around the wood particles. Pellets are densely compressed, but leave ample air between each pellet. A candle will not light them well though, I use a torch to start mine. I place it in the bottom of a vertical smoker that I converted to electric for more accurate temp control. The pellets produce a lot of smoke for about 4 hours before I have to refill the coil basket. Pellets come in such a variety of flavors that each time I use it, I can change up my flavors rather easily, I can even mix different pellets on the same burn. I've never had the smoke burn out with the use of pellets, but it dies quickly when I use sawdust. I hope this helps.
Stephen Moore : I like the idea of this device
No practical value. It's impossible to purchase sawdust online, fine/light enough to continually combust in this device. Sawdust available online is generally of a small chip form, not shavings, and does not stay lit. I like the idea of this device, but its impossible to make it work. I tried numerous times with two different types of sawdust.
Solomon : Make sure you use fine dry saw dust.
This was my first attempt ever at smoking anything. Worked as advertised. Got a slow cool complete burn. I used pellets that I had soaked and smashed and then baked at 180 for 4 hours to yield a dry fine dust.
Will Lankford : Stayed lit
Worked great
Nick Luvera : Can't keep it lit
I spent hours trying to keep the sawdust lit. The tea candle idea is useless. Finally bought a butane torch. Still wouldn't smolder. Used the recommended sawdust. Watched videos, read blogs. Nothing worked. Returned the product. Very disappointed.
Mark Gugel : Won't stay lit.
This smoke generator won't stay lit. I read the reviews and learned that the reason these won't stay lit is because the sawdust is damp. I believed it and gave it a try. No way. Even after dying my sawdust for an hour ar 350F, the smoke generator won't smolder for more than an hour.
TB : There are better products to use when smoking foods.
On multiple attempts I've been unable to keep the ash lit. I used a 5 hour tea light as well as a blowtorch and was unable to keep the ash burning. If there's a "secret" to it then I wish someone would share it.....otherwise save your money. Sorry...but I can't recommend this product at any price and if I was able to return it I would.
rfulton : Product works well
This coiled cold smoker works well once you get the chips lit so they stay lit.
Adramalech : Easy to use
Great tool for cold smoking. Super easy to use and get great results.
Rev. Pat Robbins : thank you
nice

John W. : Great product
Just what I was hoping for
Bob Arizona : Doesn't work as described! Doesn't work period!
After the product arrived I checked you tube for information on this product and guess what! Doesn't work. Even the reviewer couldn't keep it let. Burned about 25% of the way for him. Then I noticed there were half as many 1 star reviews as 5 star, so 11 out of 3 thought is was nonfunctional. I had trouble keeping it going for 20 minutes. Tried a fire starter, tea light and kitchen torch. The humidity here is around 15% so the wood dust is not damp. I have to completely unload my smoker to relight this POS. Hellooo Amazon, goodbye Real (no) cook. Hope the other two guys are happy with theirs!
