Cold smoke steak

[68sting]

I tried cold smoking a top sirloin today. I used milts pure grape and pure apple pellets. I smoked it for an hour and sous vide it for 4 hrs after that. It had that ash tray smell when I took it off the grill. Same as cheese when I smoke it. The cheese turns out just fine after it sits in the fridge for awhile though. Sure enough it came out with that ash tray flavor. Not real bad but noticeable. Did I smoke it to long? How long do you cold smoke steaks usually?

I think you will not have the "ash tray" taste if you smoke it less direct by not having the smoke generator directly under the steak. You can set the smoke generator to the side of the steak, close the grills lid and the steak will take on smoke as the smoke circulates inside the cook chamber.
