  To make the aioli, blend the egg yolks and mustard in a small food processor until combined. With the motor on, slowly pour in the oil in a thin steady stream until the mixture thickens. Add the garlic and lemon juice and pulse until just combined.

  Connect the large end of the hose to the Smoking Gun barrel. Add a pinch of wood chips to the burn chamber and place the other end of the hose under the plastic wrap with the opening sitting above the aioli. Seal with plastic wrap. Turn the smoking gun on to High Speed and ignite the wood chips. Switch to Low speed for a few seconds until the bowl is filled with a dense smoke. Switch to Off position. Remove the hose and reseal the plastic wrap. Infuse for 3 minutes, then stir well. Cover and refrigerate until required. Repeat the process one more time for a smokier flavour.
