Yummm.. Love the cheeses smoked. 


I take a glass bowl and fill it with Ice and place on the bottom rack it brings the temps down.

When I smoke cheese I like the temp to be down around 40 - 50 deg. I use an external smoke generator box as well. The Cheese seems to not sweat as much when cooler therefore the smoke penetrates a little better for me.

You know where to find it when you want some.

When you swing through, bring me a bunch of cheese and I will do a batch for you.  Just make sure it happens before the temps outside warm up.

It's hard for me to eat it within days of smoking.  It's about like licking an ash tray. 
The only way I can is if I cut the outer 1/8th off of all sides, then I cant stop eating it till it's gone.
Do you eat the whole thing within days or weeks of a multi hour smoke?

[92xj]

Oh woodchuck....your batch is ready.

 Looks My favorite is pepper jack

[PolarBear]

Looks good!
My last couple of batches I did mozzarella, pepperjack and Gouda along with cheddar.  The mozzarella and Gouda were huge hits.  I also tried a mix of hickory, alder and apple.  The folks seemed to like that better than just straight apple or alder.
