Bleeding_Heart1 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 welll if you have a glass base i wouldnt reccoment this. It could get too cold and shatter your base. Especially since your adding salt. salt brings the temp of ice below 32*. I think it makes it about 24*, which is deff cold enough to crack/shatter glass.

The cold itself is not a problem, freezing beer mugs and glasses for example My favorite!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauldavis Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 yeah, i had no problem with my QT...as long as you don't get the water real cold, then put the base in, you will be fine...put the base in ad put everything around it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novicafe Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I have a ice chamber on mine and with ice it definitely makes a more smooth and powerful smoke. Tastes very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novicafe Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Yeah haha. I usually don't smoke mine without it. Sometimes i'll throw some ice in the base too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymptom Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I actually prefer my smoke to be on the warmer side. The flavors are more discernable. Then again, I don't like anything cold. Not even beer drink it the real way boys, just a small bit below room temperature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joetuo Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 cymptom: That is the only way to drink beer, like between 45-55 degrees depending on style. I love to drink belgian beers, you can really taste the complexity of the beer when it warms up a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansLight Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 i gotta have mine cold. I stick the base filled with water, and the stem in the fridge 5 minutes before i smoke. Get the bowl and the coal ready then pull out the stem and base, and damn the first 10 minutes or so is all nice cold and smooth smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's too cold, it dulls the taste -- for smoke, beer and just about anything else. If you're drinking Natty light or Miller or some junk it might as well be cold, but it's a waste to drink a quality brew too far below room temperature.

PersianPride Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Hey I tried it. Pretty cool although naturally I wouldn't do it ever time I smoked. Also as other people mentioned got to be careful about the temperature change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
