I was watching one of the Food Network shows the other day, and one of the places served Smoked Coleslaw. They used a stove top smoker, and placed the Coleslaw on a bed of ice above the smoker, tented it with aluminum foil, and smoked it for 6 minutes. I love Coleslaw, and smoked food, so decided to give this a try in my SM-045. I put my coleslaw mix in a long shallow pan that fit into another pan with a layer of ice in the bottom. Got the smoke rolling in the smoker, and put the 2 pans in the smoker for 6 minutes. The undressed coleslaw turned out with a wonderful smoke smell, and very crisp, but not much of a smoke flavor. I don't know if this is the nature of coleslaw, or if I need to add more time to the smoke. The experiment will continue. I am looking for a good coleslaw dressing recipe.

If it was me, I'd cold smoke the lettuce, longer at low temp but put the ice on a lower shelf and expose more lettuce to the smoke.

I know people have tried this but I have zero interest in it. You just can't have everything at the meal "smoked". With the vinegars and sauces I don't think you'll ever get enough smoke flavor to really taste it.

I think it's a "gimmick" for them to put it on the menu as "smoked".

good luck, you'll figure something out.
