Boil water in a pot and add the pasta shells, cooking until slightly underdone as they will finish in the skillet.

In a separate pan, melt the butter and sauté 1/2 cup of chopped onions until softened.

Add cream to the onions and heat until scalded.

Stir in 2 cups of shredded cheddar jack cheese and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese until melted and combined.

Combine the cooked pasta with the cheese sauce and mix well.

Transfer the mac and cheese mixture into the preheated cast-iron skillet.

Spread the mixture evenly and let it cook in the smoker for about 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, place the skillet under the broiler for about 5 minutes to crisp the top.
