### 🔥 How to Make Smoked Cheesecake
#### 1. **Preheat your smoker**
Set your smoker to 250°F (120°C). Use a mild wood like **apple, cherry, or pecan** for a subtle smoke that won’t overpower the dessert.
#### 2. **Prepare the crust**
Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan lined with parchment paper or foil. Set aside.
#### 3. **Make the filling**
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla, cream, and lemon zest (if using). Pour over the crust and smooth the top.
#### 4. **Smoke the cheesecake**
Place the pan in the smoker and cook for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the center is just slightly jiggly and the edges are set. A light golden top is a good sign.
#### 5. **Cool gradually**
Turn off the smoker and let the cheesecake sit inside with the lid cracked for about 30 minutes. Then transfer to the fridge and chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
