I've smoked cheese on my K5. It was in the 40's outside, and added one
glowing "K" Extruded Coconut Lump along with a chunk of hickory. The
cheese was on the upper grill, the "fire" was in the Lumpsaver+ with a pan
of ice on the main grill. I didn't really watch the dome temperature
since I couldn't pre-heat the ceramic. It turned out pretty good (I used
most of it for Christmas presents) if I can believe what everyone said
They're begging me to do more.

I'd rather buy smoked cheese or do without than ever see snow again...
