In a large bowl soak wood chips for 30 minutes.
Drain then add to your smoker box, place box in the grill and turn grill on.
In a disposable aluminum pan place all ingredients along with only ½ cup of milk.
When ready lower heat to 220-240 and place the aluminum pan inside the grill, close the lid.
Check after 15-20 minutes and stir ingredients together so the cheese will not burn.
Cook for about 1 hour stirring and checking every 15 minutes.
Add more milk until you reach the desired consistency.
Serve with chips and veggie sticks.

For more smoky flavor cook for several hours on low.
For our taste a ½ cup of milk was enough but it is more on the thicker side, so adjust to your own preference.
If it is done and you still have time until you serve it place in a slow cooker to transfer to a preheated oven (the lowest heat possible) and keep it there until you are ready to serve.
Variations:
- Use ground chicken, turkey, sausage or leave the meat out.
- Add cooked taco meat.
- Add in some drained canned beans.
- Adjust the jalapeño according to your liking, this tend to be a bit spicy.
- You can use sliced pickled jalapeño or fresh instead of diced.
- Use chopped fresh tomatoes instead of Rotel.
