Abstract: A cool temperature smoker includes a housing, an external smoke box, a duct, and a fan. The smoke box produces wood smoke at a temperature above ambient temperature, with the smoke box being positioned outside the food chamber. The duct extends between and fluidly connects the smoke box and the food chamber to one another along a duct path, with the duct being operable to fluidly transmit wood smoke along the duct path. The fan is positioned in fluid communication with the duct and is operable to provide a controlled flow of wood smoke through the duct. The duct extends at least partly outside the food chamber and is configured to be exposed to ambient conditions along the duct path to dissipate heat from the controlled flow of wood smoke as the wood smoke travels toward and into the food chamber.
