Cold Smoke(r)

Last month I was on a motorcycle camping trip in Oregon (and while tossing back a beer), a friend of mine started telling me about the finer points of smoked cheese.  "you have to smoke it cold" he said.  "Cold?!?" I replied, "how the hell do you smoke something and keep it cold?"  queried I...  Well my friend did his best to explain, but I'm afraid that by then we'd had a few more beers than what makes for clear classroom instruction and not much came of it.  So after returning home once the campout was over (a couple of days later), I did some quick research on the web.  I found an excellent blog here on blogger by 'Cowgirl' that explains all sorts of food smokers and smoking techniques (see: http://cowgirlscountry.blogspot.com).  After some study of the smokers described on her blog, I decided to experiment with some design ideas and try to build my own 'cold smoker'.  I've really just collected some 'raw' materials at this point.  Once I have a workable contraption I'll post photos...  Stay tuned!
