Smoked Mac & Cheese V2.0
This is my second attempt at smoked mac and cheese and it got lots of thumbs up from the sample audience. Still not perfect in my opinion but others thought it was worthy.

Sorry, I had to look again. It is in a smoker. Didn't catch that first time. What kind of smoker? Type of wood? We compete professionally in KCBS BBQ and are always looking for new recipes.- Looks tasty. I would add a couple tablespoons of finely chopped jalapeño peppers mixed in thoroughly before smoking. Just enough bite to complement the smoky cheese.

This (link) from Jeff Phillips at Smoking-Meat.com. I've made this 3 or 4 times and always had rave reviews. The pulled pork adds to it, but isn't necessary. This stuff is great!
That method was my V1.0 but thought it was lacking in smoke flavor. Just creates a layer of smoke on the top. I smoked my sauce in version 2.0 and then assembled. It was much deeper smoke flavor in my opinion.magnusfide wrote:

I used dry mustard and cayenne pepper.- To up the smoked flavour how's about adding some sweet smoked paprika?

Might be v2.1, it is pretty close to perfect.
