I smoke my cheese by placing a pencil soldering iron inside a metal can (from standard soup or canned vegetables) that is full of smoking chips. You poke a bunch of holes in the can and drill a hole in the lid for the soldering iron to fit through. I put this inside my bbq and let it smoke for about 2-1/2 hours. Sorry I don't have any pics.

My bad :chuckle: :chuckle:

I found a similar set-up on the internet. I poke about 10 holes in the side of the can and I fill the can all the way full with applewood chips. I also don't cover the bbq up like this guy did.
