15lbs of cheese in the smoker

Just tossed some salmon and some venison into marinades, may have to grab a block of cheese to join them.  Yum!

I'm a smoker too.....no, not that kind !! Has anyone ever smoked whole russet potatoes ? I had them once over by Poulsbo years ago and they were the sh:)t !!! I've tried it once, but they were still raw after the long wait. Ideas ?
A little side note on my chicken. I soak my chicken in low sodium dragon juice ( soy sauce to some ) and garlic with nothing else. I only use thighs because they are moist and besides, I don't breasts  ....... too dry for my liking.

So... given that it's still summer, is this even a possibility where it's hot or do I have to wait until night?

I've heard that it's better to wait to eat to allow the smoke more time to penetrate the cheese. Any truth to this? Any other magical secrets?

Moose the cheese looks great, let us know how turns out.

I would not try it during the day, if it gets to warm or you'll have cheese hanging from your racks.
Get up early on Saturday and start your cheese about 5am or so, and it should be done around 8am.

Some people don't like the campfire taste you get in the cheese when it's just been smoked, letting it sit for a few weeks helps mellow it out. I don't mind the campfire taste so I'll eat it right away. Oh and don't forget to try Pepper Jack..

You better believe I'm going to be all over Pepper Jack. Usually the only cheese I have in the house.

We have tried the sharp cheddar and it is awesome, have not tried the medium chedder yet. Wer'e having crab enchiladas tonight so a perfect time to try it.

   Just got back from town and forgot to buy the cheese.....  I wonder if it would work with cheese sticks?

I found a cheese wedge the other day of blue cheese. Smoked that baby up and put it on some smoked burgers cant say theres much better.

I smoked some cheese the other day....oh yeah, turned out great...75 -100 degrees for 1 hour.  Also did some cheese sticks.  I had to pull the cheese sticks out early so they wouldn't melt.  The smoke taste was outstanding. 
I used ice in my water tray and smoked the cheese with hickory chips.
I am going to have smoke more cheese that's for sure.
