Infusion smoker

Like a lot of people, I love smoked meats and fish, but in Montana, winter makes that pretty impossible for part of the year. But then I discovered a gadget called an infusion smoker. Tried it twice so far, with salmon and with a small steak, and it really works. I'm wondering about other cooks' experience with this.

I've actually never heard of an infusion smoker before! How do you cook with it?

You don't actually cook with an infusion smoker. It gives a smoked flavor to something already cooked. It's basically a small chimney with a container where you place a small amount of wood chips, which you light. Then a fan blows the smoke through a tube into a pot or other lidded container that holds whatever you are smoking. I have used it with fish, chicken and pork so far.
