Yeah it will work for cold smoking. I have the 22.5 WSM and use the AMNPS in it for cheese all the time. I usually keep the water pan in place. I tried once to put the amnps in the water pan (no water or ice) and the cheese on the top rack. The temps were a little to high for me. I now keep the amnps on the charcoal grate with the bottom vents open and the top vent open. No problem cold smoking cheese or nuts.Thanks for all the help! Already have a few 1# packs of cheese waiting lol.

Thank You for understanding,

I have used both. If smoking cheese and it is hot out I will use dust because it releases less heat. If outside temperature isn't an issue then it depends on what type of smoke I want to apply. I have found that lighting one end of pellets is about equal to lighting both ends of dust.Do you folks use pellets or dust in the maze to cold smoke cheese, nuts, salt, etc?
Sure, sick your wife on me to do the dirty work!!!
LOL!!!
The water pan will help disperse the smoke inside your WSM, but not necessary
If you're planning on smoking cheese, you could fill the water pan with blocks of ice. When the smoke smoke hits this "Cold Mass", it's tempered and reduces the temp in your smoker. Cheese sweats around 90° or so
This time of year is great for smoking cheese and you should not need to use any ice
