Hello everyone!

I'm from Pennsylvania and recently bought a Masterbilt smoker. Tried to smoke cheese for the first time recently.... No too bad. Looking to expand my knowledge on smoking

How long did you let the cheese rest before you tried it?

I let it rest about 2 days... Melted the previous 2 pieces before I figured out that I had to keep the temp very low. Very challenging to keep the temp low in my Masterbilt because of the rotary dial.... Thanks

Yea you should let cheese rest at least 2 weeks. It can have a very strong and/or bitter taste right at first. The longer it sits the more it will mellow out and the better it will taste.

Cold smoking cheese is a breeze if you use a AMNPS. Here is the web site. Most folks on this site use one...http://www.amazenproducts.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=AMNPS5X8

With one of the amazen products, you don't need any heat (or very little) in your smoker for cold smoking
