Got my 6 pounds of cheese from Humbird yesterday. Decided to try some string cheese as well. Flavor is good but the string cheese got hard. Wont do them again. 1.5 hours of smoke on the string cheese. 4 hours on the Cheddar. Its 4 years aged sharp cheddar.

Next time I will only do 3 hours I think.

Looks pretty tasty... I usually only do 3 hours on my cheese and it seems to be plenty. Mine always turns out delicious. What kind of wood did you use?
 
Looks good to me,waiting for the temp to stay down and wind to stop blowing to do mine

I used just hickory. I have found in the mes with the amazn tray the fruit woods give cheese to much sweetness for me.
 
I don't think I've ever seen cheese turn red before. That's interesting. I've done string twice and I agree with you - I didn't care for it and won't do it again. I normally go two to three hours with dust when smoking cheese. I can basically eat it that day or the next.

Point for sure

Looks good, I have about 10lbs in the fridge just waiting to go.

I think the cheese is waxed.

If it is waxed, how’d that go? Seems cheaper than vac seal bags?
