I'm trying my first smoked cheese later tonight. I'm going with the soldering iron and bean can trick in the very bottom with an ice tray under the cheese. I bought about 10 blocks of sharp cheddar cheese today and I have hickory and apple chips for my choice. I have pecan to but its in hockey puck sized chunks. I was figuring hour to hour and half on smoke time. Anyone have any last minute advice? Thanks.

Carwash Mike gave me great advise. 90 minutes and 90 degrees.
I am thinking that hickory would be to strong. Just my 2 tokens. It's a fun cook. Have plenty of ice on hand.
Please post pics and keep us informed.
Thanks.Molly

It's a hard thing to judge. I like a lot of smoke but don't want to over power it ya know. I'm tempted to use the apple. Maybe some more will chime in with their thoughts. Thanks for the two tokens Molly And I will have pics.

I used apple and a little cherry. Smoked for almost three hours. It took four days to mellow. I did cheddarx3, white chedderx2 and pepperjackex2

Can I foodsaver it as soon as it chills back down in fridge or should I let it set loosely wrapped in fridge for a day first?

Heath, give me a call. It's been crazy and I've lost your number. Maybe next week, lunch will work out.

No prob Gene. Kinda crazy here as well. I will call u in the next couple days. I'm off till Fri night. I'll save you a block of cheese if it turns out.

While you are doing some cheese, try doing some other types of cheese also. You will find some cheese takes on the smoke flavor much better than others. Pepper Jack is very good.

I can't imagine 90 minutes as strong as mine turn out in 40 to 50 minutes...but maybe the amount of wood and smoke have alot to do with that. The real trick is to keep the dome cool. Last time out..I used three briquets and the apple cherry wood and it didn't melt any. The first time out was this last winter and it was -15 and the cheese melted some.
