Has anybody ever tried cold smoking cheeses on a pellet smoker, like a Pit Boss? Tips, tricks, suggestions? Just got my pit boss and wanted to try it out.

I feel like there was a thread on this or someone brought it up on the Outdoors board once. May be worth a search there.

I have not done it on a pellet smoker, but I did it once on an electric smoker.

Fill the water tray with ice. Run the temp at maximum, for about 5 minutes. Should bring the smoke up, and only get the temp up to 150 or so. Then cut the power, and use foil or butcher's paper to plug all of your air openings. The temp should come back down to <90 within about 5 more minutes. Then just let the cheese sit in the smoke for an hour or so. Rinse, lather, and repeat for 2x or 3x more.

I found that the cheese was over smoked with my method, but it mellowed over 5-7 days in the fridge. I did about 10 bricks of it, and the best was the habanero pepperjack.

I do on my cookshack. They make a baffle specifically for this.

I'd get some sort of other box and route the smoke via a dryer hose. An old smoker that doesn't work or even a cardboard box will work.

I bought a smoke gun for this. Works well. I smoke it in Tupperware. I will load the container with smoke and keep it until it dissipates. Then try the cheese. If it isn't smokey enough, light the "bong" again and go another round.

I use a smoking tube with my grill turned off. I usually do this when the weather is cooler.
I smoke salt the same way.
