First time smoking chese.

I have been wanting to smoke cheese for a while now but never had the setup to do so. I bought the AMNPS and away I went. I used a mix of the Maple and Cherry pellets as I had read this was a good combination.

Here is the gear

Good stuff!  I am now digging into some cheeses that I smoked back in October.  The flavor has really developed!  Good luck with the waiting!

When doing cheese, do people prefered lighting one end of the AMNPS or both ends?  I hope to make my first attempt as soon as the weather gets alittle warmer.

Since this was my first attempt I only lit the one end. Depending on the flavor I may try both ends the next time. I will let you know in about three weeks or so after the cheese sits.

i just do one end for about 2-3 hours. Seems to be just right for me.

Ok, so three weeks later I cannot wait any more. The Colby and the [color= rgb(24, 24, 24)]Motzarella [/color]have a nice mild smokey flavor and the wife and son really like them as well.

I think if I could have gotten the AMNPS to stay lit better the smoke flavor would have been more pronounced But I am happy with these results.

So 5 more blocks on again today (I can see the first batch will not last long) with Hickory and this is staying lit and smoking well.
