COLD SMOKING BACON?

So I'm thinking of making some bacon. Besides the brine... Can anyone offer a good way to cold smoke on the BGE so that I don't run into temperature problems?

    You can use the egg as a firebox and vent (using a smaller diameter dryer vent) from the top into a cardboard box where the meat sits on a rack

    ig you have two eggs, you can vent out the top of one into the lower vent of the other. I have a ithink a three inch diameter foil vent pipe (corrugated/accordian-like). 

    I use the small egg as a firebox with a 300-350 fire. Jam the vent in the top. Jam the outlet into the bottom of the large BGE, and the meat goes on the grid

    As @pgprescott  and @HoustonEgger said, use the amaz-n-smoker. It's what I use to cold smoke all my bacon.
