Steve,
That's just not right teasing us with your 70 degree weather. It's been just below or above 100 for the last 2 months in north Texas. My pool water is 92. We won't see 70 til November. -
Mike,
I'll post some pics of snow in November. :laugh:

I feel for you! I'm down to my last back of smoked swiss and it's driving me nut. I want to eat it so bad but I know that it's all over once I do.

Probably past the point of needing this. Nevertheless, Use a offset type setup. Smaller egg or even a box with a dryer vent tube from the smoke/heat source into the lower vent of the egg you are using to smoke the cheese. If the temperature is still too warm then make an ice bed (several pans filled with ice) under the cheese to keep it cooler.

Tom - since I know you're handy, try this:
Create a 4" hose connection that will fit into the bottom vent of a large (or small or medium or extra large) at one end and fits snugly on the top vent of a small (or mini) at the other end.
Buy a flexible 4" dryer vent hose and connect it from the top vent of the small to the bottom vent of the large leading it into and out of a large cooler.
Cover the hose in the cooler with large amounts of ice.
Create a smoke fire in the small (or mini) BGE.
Put the cheese in the large and let the cooled smoke run over it for hours. -
Can't seem to get the picture to download from flickr. This method works for me during hot weather. I use a cheap foam cooler with ice in the bottom, cheese sits on a rack in the cooler above the ice. I've cut a 3" hole in one end of the cooler and connected dryer vent material between the BGE and the cooler. Smoke generator is in the BGE. In 90*+ outside temps, the cheese stays around 75* in the cooler. Seems to work ok for me, used it twice this summer. I posted this pic earlier this year on the forum, don't know if it's still available.

Use the "search forum" and look for "cheese smoking". Select "hot weather cheese smoking", there's a pic there of the set up I use.

I know what you mean, Tom. We've had about eight days of triple digit temps around here. Today it's only 98-99°F.
A buddy of mine keeps reminding me that he has a fridge full of cheese, ready for me to smoke. Like you, it ain't happening for awhile. Maybe in October :side: -
Neat idea and seems like it would work pretty darn good.

Just did a big batch of cheese…Granted it’s not three digets hot here, but damn hot, no matter! Hey…It’s summer!
I set up the Egg with the plate setter, the grid, a pizza stone, my drip pan filled with ice on top of that and the raised rig atop everything.
The raised grid (cheese level) never got above 72 F. and the cheese turned out great. Not getting to that soft oily state of things!
This set up is the way to go, as I had some trouble earlier on (early this spring with the out side temp. only in the very high 70’s) with out all the heat sinks and ice!
