What electric smokers can cold smoke food? Question

+2
−1

I want to buy an electrical device for cold smoking food. From what I read, the temperature of the food must stay below 80F for cold smoking.

When I search for electrical smokers, most products quote their range as something like 165F - something high. This sounds like hot smoking only.

A few advertise a minimum of 100F, for example Pit Boss 10949. But 100F is more than 80F, so does this mean it is still not able to cold smoke? But it seems like if it was hot smoke only, they wouldn't bother adding a 100F setting. Perhaps setting the smoker to 100F results in the food reaching only 80F?

Are there actually electric smokers you can buy that can reliably cold smoke food? Is there a way to figure out which ones?

This question would suit better for https://cooking.codidact.com/. Specifically, the statement "From what I read, the temperature of the food must stay below 80F for cold smoking" is about cooking, not shopping. Similarly, "Are there actually electric smokers you can buy that can reliably cold smoke food?" is a Cooking question. So perhaps this is two questions: what temperature is appropriate etc, which would be a Cooking question, and then where to buy a device which handles temperature x, which would be a shopping question.

This is actually not a question at all. It's evidently 80F. The only question is which specific products are able to accomplish this.
