Smokin' Gun for cold smoking?

I do a good bit of cold smoking during the cooler months. It's just too hot here in Georgia to get a cold smoke otherwise. I've tried some pretty crazy ideas, but I was wondering how using a combination of the Smokin' Gun along with a chamber vacuum to cold smoke a cured belly. Fill the bag with smoke and meat then seal it. It may take a few times to permeate the meat with smoke. I'm just thinking out loud here. Any thoughts on the idea?

It would take forever and be a real pain in the ass. The smoking gun is really for sauces and cheeses and really like aromatic smoking as opposed to real smoking like you would get in a smoker

Like Brendan said, it's not really possible. TSG isn't really capable of smoking proteins; at most, it adds a bit of smoke flavor to the exterior of meat. Using a chamber vac wouldn't help since the vacuum pump would suck the smoke out of the bag before it sealed it anyway. Your best bet is to get something like the A-Maze-N Tube Smoker and use that for cold smoking. I have both TSG and the 12" tube smoker and the tube gets much more use.

Thanks guys. I have the older version of the A-Maze-N smoker and it works great. I appreciate you both taking the time to answer my question!
