    I saw a post on the forum a while ago about using a mini Egg as a fire box to cold smile on a large Egg

    @nolaeggead.  easier to make a smoke box.  you have the firebox already (the BGE).  connect it to a cardboard smoke box, or a foam cooler, or another egg if you have one.

    flexible 3" foil dryer vent hose, from the chimney of the firebox (BGE) to the smoke box further away with the hose on the ground.

    For a cold smoke setup I use a soldering iron and a can of wood chips at the bottom of a clean egg but now it's too hot outside to do that.

    I still haven't done a pork shoulder/butt on my Egg.  I've done them many times on other smokers.  I also want to get a stir fry setup and start doing that.

    That's a great idea - I can probably make a smoke box out of wood in my shop with several wire shelves.

    Griffin's Pineapple Upside Down Cake! I guess I should try ribs too.  I've never been a fan of pork ribs and big country beef ribs are hard to find in Georgia.

    Okay, I've compiled my list:
    1- lox
    2- paella

    and then the list of things that I'll cook this weekend, which could potentially have fallen under the "got to try" list....

    Saturday lunch: seared tuna
    Sunday brunch: green eggs and ham

    I'm particularly looking forward to cooking green eggs and ham on the big green egg, purely for the novelty factor.

    I'm all over the lox.  Or any of these variations, (stole the text from Wiki).  Probably the only reason I'll go to Ikea anymore. 
    • Nova or Nova Scotia salmon, sometimes called Nova lox, is cured with a milder brine and then cold-smoked. The name dates from a time when much of the salmon in New York City came from Nova Scotia.
      Today, however, the name refers to the milder brining, as compared to
      regular lox (or belly lox), and the fish may come from other waters or
      even be raised on farms.
    • Scotch or Scottish-style salmon.
      A mixture of salt and sometimes sugars, spices, and other flavorings is
      applied directly to the meat of the fish; this is called "dry-brining"
      or "Scottish-style." The brine mixture is then rinsed off, and the fish
      is cold-smoked.
    • Nordic-style smoked salmon. The fish is salt-cured and cold-smoked.
    • Gravad lax or gravlax. This is a traditional Nordic means of preparing salmon. The salmon is coated with a spice mixture, which often includes dill, sugars, salt, and spices like juniper berry. It is then weighted down to force the moisture from the fish and impart the flavorings. It is often served with a sweet mustard-dill sauce.

    Other similar brined and smoked fish products are also popular in
    delis and fish stores, particularly in the New York City boroughs, such
    as Sable (smoked cod), smoked sturgeon, smoked whitefish, and kippered
    herring.

    you can make lox in a couple days.  i still have some cured salmon left over from easter (three weeks before, actually).  and yes, it's still good.  that's why they cured it after all.  not for flavor, but to keep it

    go buy a nice thick fillet of wild salmon or steelhead, and try it.  there's no time like the present

    here:>>> Woodoggies' Roasted Pork Belly
    I was checking WooDoggies Pork Belly Roast recipe on greeneggers.com (link above) and it looks great.  I was curious if adding wood chips for smoke would overpower the belly, i was thinking of using maple.
