2. Smoked Cream Cheese

One of the many reasons I love a good smoker is that it is a great way of making any food taste incredible. Smoking a block of cream cheese is a fun way of making a cheesy and creamy dip that’s great for serving with fresh vegetables and tortilla chips.

You can even make a dessert version of the smoked cream cheese, simply coat it with brown sugar instead of the dry bbq rub and serve it with some fresh fruit.
