Smoked ice cubes

I brought this up in another thread and did not want to hijack it

How to make smoked ice cubes for Bloody Mary's etc (might be good in bourbon, never tried it as im a neat guy)

Now some may think you just put a bowl of water in the smoker, sorry but that is incorrect as you only have a small surface.
Whats needed:
Metal bowl, Metal strainer or Colander (this is optional), Water, Sacrificial ice cube trays, Freezer (preferably not the one in the house) and a Smoker
Step 1, Pour water into ice cube trays and transform into a solid in a freezer 
Step 2, Get smoker going after water has set up
Step 3, Put ice cubes into strainer and place strainer over metal bowl (preferred by me) or just put in metal bowl
Step 4, Place bowl into smoker and smoke till ice cubes have transformed back into a liquid (whatever setting and whatever level of smoke you like, experiment)
Step 5 pour smoked water back into ice cube trays and transform back into a solid in the freezer (note the freezer and contents will take on a smokey smell (baking soda is your friend after) so will the ice cube trays
Step 6, Make up some Bloody Mary's of your choosing and use how ever many smoked ice cubes you prefer.

Trick is smoking ice cubes makes every layer of water as it melts absorb smoke 

Thanks, that is a really cool way to do it!  Wonder if those old school metal icetrays are still around..  might reduce the smokey smell in freezer combined with bagging/sealing the special ice cubes.

Liquid smoke is water-soluble. I get the natural smoking kick and enjoy smoking meats. However, why not just stir in a little liquid smoke and make the ice cubes just once? I know, blasphemy.

Where is the fun in that? 
I have never tried it, suppose it would work but i personally don't like liquid smoke

Well, I just thought I'd put it out there. It is a natural smoke flavor...snob!

All your doing is trying to make liquid smoke anyway.  Except I doubt it will work.  I've tried making it several times you have to make condensation from smoke and collect it or your wasting your time.

Sounds really good sometime in the future. I have had ENOUGH SMOKE to last for awhile....
