That is true. I use a top loading Big Chief to smoke cheese. With the lid off you take the box it comes in and put dowels across it to hold the box and put the cheese on a rack near the top of the box. It works well and doesn't damage the cheese. If one wants to finish something like a butt in the crock pot, a box would certainly put a smoke flavor to it. I'm not buying into a 6#-8# butt brought to 190+ with a good smoke ring and and a nice char on it.
