-Peel potatoes into long strips with a potato peeler, then let them lie on a paper towel for a few minutes to absorb moisture. Smoke the strips in the stove smoker for a maximum of 10 minutes. Alternatively, use the smoking gun for 3 minutes. Lay them on the paper towel again. Heat up frying oil in a deep fryer or frying pan. Fry the strips a few at a time till crisp and golden brown. Place them back onto the paper towel and sprinkle with salt. If you don't want to serve them right a way, wait till the peel cools and set aside in an airtight container until needed, but no longer than a few days.+Peel potatoes into long strips with a potato peeler, then let them lie on a paper towel for a few minutes to absorb moisture.

-Pour the sparkling or filtered tap water into a bottle. Insert the tube from the smoking gun into the bottle (try to seal it completely so not much smoke goes out). Smoke the water with cherry wood chips for about a minute. Close the water bottle with an airtight lid. Shake well, several times over the next 30 minutes. Pour the water into ice cube moulds and freeze overnight. The smoky taste is quite light and only becomes apparent as the ice cubes start melting.+Pour the sparkling or filtered tap water into a bottle.
