Can I thaw and smoke frozen meat with good results? Or should I only smoke "fresh" meat?

I have heard that smoking frozen meat does not turn out well. I have never tried this.

Answer:-

Yes you can, but it's not as good. For sure fresh is always best but provided you properly thaw out the meat before you start smoking then you're set, just don't expect wonders.

The absolute no no is to smoke frozen meat. Put simply, this is a health hazard.
