I'll point out that AB wasn't cold-smoking in that episode, as he
stated in the show. The rig is so small that it's hot-smoking, although
at a relatively low temperature.

He did do true cold-smoking in the "Scrap Iron Chef" episode, where he
made bacon. There he had a separate firebox and ran the smoke through
some dryer ducts or something to cool it off.
