Cold smoking with the Mini...

Does anyone have any experience using the Mini as a cold smoke source for the Large BGE? If so, do you have any suggestions and/or advice on whether or not this works very well? I was thinking of running a hose from the top of the Mini into the bottom of the Large, then lighting a fire in the Mini. [p]Thanks, in advance.

    SSDawg,[p]About tow or three years ago there was a flurry of talk on just that subject . . . with photos! From what I remember it was successful.
    Do a search you should find something.
    Good Luck

    <p />SSDawg,[p]It does work. My first attempt I actually had the temp too low, about 100°, and the cheese I was doing tasted like a fireplace instead of food. I think there was not enough draft so the smoke stayed in the large to long and got "stale".[p]I have since raise the temp a little and used a tray of ice below what I have smoked with good results.[p]Let us know if you give it a try.[p]Chuck
