This was my first try using dust I used an apple, cherry and maple blend on a brick of Colby Jack. After letting it rest in the refrigerator for 24 hours so far I am very pleased. I smoked it for 2 hours flipping the Brick every 30 minutes.

Happy it worked out for you! I only rotate halfway. Next run will be 6-8hrs. Dust was game changer for me. Pellets were way too strong for me.
 
I love the pellets for smoking hot but the dust for cold on the cheese unbelievable. I will most likely try longer but for my first try I wanted a low start point.
 
Nice looking cheese, dust and cheese go hand in hand.

Wise to start with a short duration. Looks like a big brick? I think most guys break em down into smaller portions and smoke them that way. I suspect it may help with smoke penetration but have not tested this personally.
 
It actually was what I consider a small brick it was 8 oz. Tropics do you mean when you are smoking the cheese or while storing it just curious.
 
Haven’t gotten my hands on any dust yet but want to try it. Does it light the same as the pellets? I mainly use apple pellets for cold smoking with great results but everyone raves about the dust. Wish amazon would come on with the dust!
 
It does lite the same, just use one of those long nozzle bic lighters.
