We "cold" smoke most all the Chiles we smoke. It just means the temperature is held to below 105F. The reason is to add the extra flavor and the low temperature does not destroy the vitamin C. Not sure what you mean by smoky water. If you are thinking about a water smoker, the answer is no. The water pan is their to add moisture during the cooking process not lower the temperature.
