Way low and slow suggestions using small and large?

You can either get a device like an A-maze-n smoker or a short run of dryer venting connecting the small's dome to the large's intake. Many do this for cold smoking and if the temp runs high they just add a pan of ice to the "smoking chamber" egg. Hot smoking shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks @Eggcelsior. Using the dryer vent method, is there any science to attaching to the intake of the large? Do they just shove it in? Man that sounds like a bad joke waiting to happen.

coffee can with holes punched in it sittin in the large, use preburnt lump will do what you want, no need for 2 eggs for those temps.

Great. Thanks I will try the coffee can first and then if I fail with that I will go the dryer vent route. I have the ANS but I don't think I could really build much heat with that. I suppose I could bring it up higher in the dome and get more direct heat off of it. Maybe I will try that too. Thanks for all the ideas.

I don't have a temp controller. Yet. I will hope for decent control manually and just stay right on top of it. I can at least keep an eye on it with the Maverick from indoors.

Coffee can method will get the right amount of heat. I've had people use a half grid setup like doing indirect in the old kettles.... Then they kept a water pan under the item to be smoked to temp assistance. If it got too hot, they'd add ice to the water to cool things down. They also used pellets in the coffee can for their smoke source on top of a very neutral, pre-burned lump.

If you don't mind, I'm jumping into this conversation. I don't have an Amaze N Smoker; (I know, why not?). Do you think I could cold smoke with the coffee can method and an ice pan? Maybe I don't need the ice. It's not getting above the 50's for highs around here now.
I like my butt rubbed and my pork pulled.

the only problem with true cold smoking stuff like butter and cheeses is that you must stay below like 80 degrees ambient temperature in the smoking chamber. Eggs, as we know, are very thermodynamically efficient. Anything burning will generate heat and all that ceramic will be holding that heat in and that chamber will get higher and higher.....
This method that we have been talking about is more like a warm smoking at 150-160+. True cold smoking is below 80 degrees.
