Directions

1. Step1

   Combine wood chips and juice in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 2 to 2-1/2 minutes or until juice begins to boil. Remove from microwave. Let chips soak for 1 hour. Drain wood chips; discard juice.

2. Step2

   Place wood chips on one-half of a 16x12-in. double sheet of heavy foil. Fold other half over to cover wood chips. Seal edges tightly with a double fold. Place packet in a small metal pan. Poke holes in top of packet to allow smoke to come out.

3. Step3

   Preheat a charcoal or gas grill with two grilling zones: direct grilling over medium heat (350 degrees) and indirect grilling over low heat (250 degrees). Place metal pan directly over medium heat. Cover grill.

4. Step4

   Line a small rimmed baking pan with foil. Spray with nonstick spray. Place the cream cheese blocks in the prepared pan. Score the tops of the cream cheese blocks with a sharp knife in a diamond pattern, about 1/2-in. deep. Evenly sprinkle the BBQ rub over the top of one block and steak rub over the top of the remaining block of the cream cheese. Set aside.

5. Step5

   When chips begin to smoke, place baking pan with cream cheese on grill rack over indirect heat. Cover grill and smoke for 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 hours, until desired smokiness.

6. Step6

   Remove from the grill. Transfer cheese blocks to a serving platter. Serve with jelly and assorted crackers.
