Yes I have been using one for about a year now. Works much better than I ever thought it would.
Sorry no pictures but maybe I can explain my set-up.
I have a smokette. First I added some Aluminum strapping material so that the smoke generator kind of hangs on the side of my smoker so that the exhaust smoke tube of the generator is slightly below the smokette. Next I added some pipe and an elbow to the generator so that the smoke is piped right into the bottom vent hole (where the grease drips out)
To cold smoke I never even turn the heat on in the smoker
and the temperature never goes above 80 deg.
The only drawback to the original system was the aquarium pump that came with it. It was battery operated and made more noise than a damn weed eater. Don't get the pump. Instead go to Walmart and find a cheap regular aquarium pump of about equal size that operates on house current.
So now my little Smokette is a perfect cold smoker without all those Rube Goldstein contraptions and boxes people seem to want to perch on top.
Your results may vary but it works for me

Great thanks Axel thats just what I had in mind I will put it on my Christmas list.
P.S. it comes with an electric pump now.

Interesting item, but an FYI, it will violate any CS warranty since you're modifying the box.
If you're doing a lot of Cold Smoking, it might be worth it, but those Rube Goldberg boxes don't cost anything
