Mossy,

How long do you smoke the cheese for?  And do you smoke all cheese varieties for the same length of time?

[Mossy]

That's something you have to play with...depends on your taste too.  Most people go 2 hours.

4 hours for me. I smoke mine over Apple, or hickory.

Apple today. Medium cheddar, pepperjack, and colbyjack.

I built my own pellet cold smoker. Works awesome!

Smoking Horseradish jack cheese tomorrow.

I just finished 10 lbs of pepperjack, cheddar, colby jack and montery jack I started making it a month or so ago and everyone at work wants me to smoke some for them..lol

I was wondering how well those maze type smoke tray worked.  I talked to a buddy the other day about fabricating a Ventura type cold smoker.  Those tray types look a lot more simple.
I did 25 pounds of medium and sharp Tillimook a couple of weekends ago with alder smoke.  Turned out awesome!

The pellet smoker trays are the only way to go. Easiest and most consistant I have tried.

How do they work with standard, small wood chips?

[Mossy]

They don't really work with the maze types.  U gotta use the dust that the company offers, or pellets. 

[PolarBear]

I use the Little Chief Alder chips (the finer stuff).  What pellets do you prefer?  I might just have to make up a couple of those trays and try em' out before going through fabricating a Ventura.

I don't use the pellets, they were never proved to work when I bought my unit so I don't have the answer....but I just broke open some dublin aged white cheddar and it's way better IMO with the maple than hickory.

YUM!  I got a Bradley smoker for my birthday a year and a half ago and I smoke cheese regularly.  I just took the smoke generator off, fit it to a box, plumbed up some flexible ducting, and viola'!  Cold smoker!  It works great! 

Usually a couple hours is what I do for my cheese.  I just picked up a box of whiskey oak wood pucks.  Anyone have a suggestion on what cheese to smoke with it?  Cheddar is on the list.
