Time to get the smoked cheese ready

Have you tried this on the smokefire before? Interested to see how this turns out.

Yes I did this last year. Has to be cold out or cheese will melt. I use Weber apple pellets in a smoke tube. I also use a tray of ice to help keep the area cool. I smoke for 2 hours turning the cheese every 30 mins. After 2 hours I wrap the cheese in butcher paper and refrig for 24 hours. I then vaccum seal and refrig for a min of 2 weeks. The longer the better. I use Gouda mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. Next time I will remove the rind on the Gouda. Have fun, they make great Xmas gifts for neighbours.
