I favor the apple wood above all others for my cheese. Only other I might use on rare occasion is pecan. To me, the pecan seems to add a "pepper-like" flavor. Tons of Sam's Club here, but they just recently opened OKC's first Costco. Might have to check em out. Thanks for reading!

Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed.

Thank you, and good luck to you too!

Thanks!!

Thanks!! Not sure if I've tried or had access to a non-pasteurized, I'll have to look into it

That batch looks like it went well! I agree with one of the posters, gloves are a MUST have for any stage of handling cheese to avoid any transfer of bacteria. But especially once it's been in the smoker, the residue left from the smoke will stain your skin and smell it for days😂 Also, that...

Thank you!

Thanks man!

Great thing about the lower moisture cheeses, they are forgiving. I Let em all cure at least 2 weeks before eating/selling. And I've had folks, from the same batch, one say they we're not smokey enough and one say too smokey. I tell them to seal it up, and try it again in a week.

Hi, thank you! Usually close to 1 hour, flip, 1 hour again

When I first learned of cold smoking, I was intrigued. My buddy has a big smoker and does brisket, turkey etc, so I wanted to bring something different to the table. Tired of paying inflated prices for fake spray on flavored cheese at the store, I wanted to see if I could do it. I made my first...

No need for amnps. Nice idea, but my design is working great and efficient with very little heat entering the box! Also with using the chips I can easily buy a small bag for $3.00 that lasts for at least 4 smokes and change the type of wood without having a bunch of large bags that I have to...

Well I did't make the fire box yet but I went with the can idea for now to "help with development"(really, just eager to smoke!) Smoking Apple chips with Mont Jack, Swiss, Provolone, X-sharp Chedder, New York Sharp, Mont Jack w/ Roasted Red Peppers. Full can of chips, used the soldering iron...

Thanks. Yep, you got the idea! And yes there is an exaust pipe(pic taken I before cut it!). Nice box set-up. I did one too(not as elaborate), but I had time from work so I spent a day to build the box. I liked the idea of smoking so much I had to.

Your input is very helpful. All info that I get I use to reduce my trial and error is awesome. I have no problem learning from other's successes and mistakes. Thank you!

I am going to try the soldering iron idea with my own design.  I plan on using chips with my device.  Here is a drawing of my idea and a picture of what it will connect to.  I need To know any dangers of using the iron, time to leave on, how much air does the soldering iron technique need, and...

Here's a picture of my idea and a picture of what I will be attaching it to..........

I'm fabricating a smoke chamber (based on the can idea, no pics  just the design in my head), but I have a question.  For what period of time do you leave the soldering iron on? Also how much air do you supply to the chamber, or is it just for ignition?  I don't plan on using a pump, just...

Being new to this, all these ideas help tremendously!  Sounds like Apple, Pecan and Cherry are the winners. Any woods to stay away from?

Cold smoking cheese is all that I've looked into, but open to other foods. At this time all I have is the cold smoking set-up. Thanks for the encouragement everyone!
