    Smoking Gouda in WSM. Do I need ice?

    I usually smoke harder cheeses (cheddar, colby, swiss, habanero, etc) for around 4 hours.  You will probably want to go 2-3 for a mild flavor.  Don't forget to let it sit in the reefer for a couple of weeks to mellow.   Good luck!

    Note - probably don't need the pan since you have a WSM, LOL.

    Smoking Gouda in WSM. Do I need ice?

    Can you take a cast iron pan, light one briquette and then surround it with chunks?  Some also drill a hole in a coffee can and use a soldering iron to smoke chips/chunks. Unfortunately both add heat but maybe not too much for a WSM.

    Smoking Gouda in WSM. Do I need ice?

    I try to stay in the 60s - 70s, in the link below even with the AMNTS I started to reach the 80s so I paused and resumed after the sun went down.  Gouda is a pretty soft cheese, I believe you would want to keep temps pretty low...

    First Brisket

    It's all personal preference, I do not wrap or inject but to each their own.  Since you have two - why not try different methods and see which you prefer?

    Smoking Gouda in WSM. Do I need ice?

    I use the AMNTS for cheese in the WSM with no other heat source.  Alternatively, you can freeze a milk jug of water or fill the water pan with ice - both work.

    Brisket on the OBX

    Flats are great for slicing - take to 195 to 205 until toothpick tender then wrap in blankets and hold in cooler for 1+ hours.  Delicious!

    I'll have to let some others weight in, I don't inject pork butt.  They seem to stay plenty moist without.

    After smoking...

    Did you mean smoking for a total of 64 hours or 16 smoke and 48 rest?  I just put my first in the brine, from all I've read most seem to rest for 2-3 days after smoking.  I believe that is for the flavors to even out and mellow a bit similar to the cheese you mentioned.  Let me know how it turns...
