    Uds cold smoke question

    I'm in the process of building a Uds and hope to cold smoke bacon, cheese. etc. I'm planning on using an amnps as the cold smoke generator. Can I add additional racks closer to the charcoal basket for additional room during a cold smoke? Or would I have some problems?
