This is my first attempt at cheese, as well as cold smoking in general.  I'm using a hand-me-down Brinkman Electric Smoker I bought for me oldman more than a decade ago.  I wanted to stay away from placing the cheese on the racks.  So thanks to Pops Stockinette method, I knew that I could hang the cheese.  However with the Brinkman you simply have the dome cover.  Issue solved with a few J bolts throught the cover.  Now I could hang the Stockinettes.  The following pics are post smoke.

I used Cherry sawdust in the AMNS for 4hrs.  The temp remained in the high 70's for all 4hrs.  I had to set up the Pop tent to help shade the smoker.

Some of the smoking was uneven, but hopefully will be less noticable after resting in the frig. a few weeks.

As always, thank you Food Saver!
 
Thanks.  I will admit, the camera and dramatic lighting had some to do with that.  I can't wait to shave some of that Asiago onto some fresh baked bread!
 
Nice!  I never thought about horseradish cheddar, I bet that will be fantastic!  That Asiago is great idea too, can't wait to hear how they taste.
 
I have found that smoking cheese can be rather addictive.  It will be awesome, and you will be making more!!
