    Cheesin' it in Texas!

    As I write this in mid-September, in Dallas, it is about 90^ and sunny. No cold smoking for me! In your experience how cold does it need to be to cold smoke cheese without ice? In January-February it might go down to freezing overnight. Maybe I could smoke first thing in the morning and hope...
