First cheese smoke of the season
I bought a new smoking gadget called an A-Maze-N smoke maker. Used it for the first time on my cheese smoke today. With ice, I actually saw a 5 degree drop in ambient box temp. Great for cold smoki...

How many hrs do you guy smoke the cheese for?
Everyone's smoker (brand) operates a little differently. My smoker is very air tight and really holds the smoke in. 2 hours of smoke is what works for me. Smoke taste preference is also a very subjective thing so one has to do some trial and error testing. If I was doing it for the first time, I'd pull a few blocks out at different time intervals and label them, 1 hour, 2 hour, etc. and then taste test after the appropriate resting period. I would recommend at least 2 weeks before sampling and then sampling in one week increments.
