Light one end and that’s the smoke generator. I’ll let it go about 2.5 - 3 hours. I’ll vacuum pack each block and let it sit in the fridge for a minimum of 2 weeks. This mellows the smoke flavor. Otherwise it would be way too strong. It smells like an ashtray right off the grill.

However, I absolutely love smoked cheese and I need to remember this. BTW ts1979flh - could you post an after picture of the product?

The longer you can wait the better. If you don’t vac seal them every thing in the fridge will get the smoke. Not really the best thing. What are you doing with the toothpicks? I also buy nearly all of my cheese to smoke at Aldi. Best deal I can find and a good variety. My favorite woods to use are pecan, or cherry. I mostly use pecan.

I then moved to a masterbuilt digital electric smoker with the cold smoke attachment. I bought the masterbuilt to do snack sticks and never have done them. That thing is awesome for cheese. If temps are below 60f outside I’ll smoke cheese.

I’ve eaten store bought smoked Gouda but never tried to do it myself. One of those is a block of Gouda. It always turns out good. I like a slice of it with a slice of salami on a cracker. Two of the blocks are Mozzarella. I plan on grating them and making homemade pizza. One is a block of Pepper Jack. It will go into pimento cheese. The bigger block is white cheddar. I plan on making mac and cheese with one or two of those.

I've gotta order one of those smoker tubes. "The struggle you're in today, is developing the strength you need for tomorrow."
