I have done the smoked ice cubes and it works great, although my smoked water did not look as clear as the pic above.
Notes on smoking ice cubes:
1) Do not use ice cube trays that you use for just regular ice later, they absorb some of the smoked flavor in the plastic.
2) Use your extras freezer/beer fridge freezer as they tend to make the inside smell like a campfire, which is great for some people....they smell like that the whole time you have them, even if you put them into a gallon zip lock bag.
3) Do not pop one in your mouth to see how it tastes...well actually do so you understand why not..

Whats up my fellow smoking buddy?
I smoked 6 Cornish game hens for Christmas dinner. I brined them in Apple juice with rosemary, thyme and garlic powder for 24hrs and then smoked them with no rub and used apple chips for 5hrs of smoking and total cooking time was 8hrs, I basted them with butter.

I ended up with a 40" MES generation 1 for christmas.  After doing some digging around I found a really good forum for smoking. Smokimgmeatforums.com lots of good ideas and help.
try the slaughter house brine fornchicken. It's really good. They also have a local group and gathering coming up soon.

I've got pork butt sitting with cure on it for buckboard bacon right now.

I can see this becoming a great new hobby and my 4 and 6 year old girls are help with it. Good fun for the entire family.
