Talk to me about..... Food smoking

Anyone tried it? Got a vertical smoker for my birthday but yet to try it out, moat advice I've seen is American and as ambient temperature is important I was wondering if anyone local had tried it and had any tips? Also looking into cold smoking, seems an interesting method using a soldering iron and a baked beans tin!

This is what I have:

I found this place useful when I was thinking about getting a smoker. Still am, just rather short of money thanks to the guvmint. They have books and so on.

Built it, few bits don't fit great so gonna have to use a sealant. Prob best to heat it first and see what happens, but hopefully this will suffice:

Will the sealant be on the exhaust side - i.e., after the smoking chamber? I would wonder about it exuding chemical products, otherwise..
