My son ordered some stuff on Amazon for me and found a good deal on a smoke tube. Not THE brand, but a nice one nonetheless.  Loaded it with cherry pellets and put it on the bottom grate.
Loaded my cheese on a cooling rack placed over a tray of ice.
Temps held great in the shade...spiked at 93 once and I replenished the ice.
Let it smoke for 4 hours, then packed it in freezer bags,  squeezed all the air out i could.
Now. ...the waiting...

Before...so I knew what was what.


On the grill


After 4 hours (flipped at 2 hrs)


Packed for the eternity of fridge time lol.


I put all the blocks together and wrapped in foil, then into a gallon freezer bag..

I'll update when I get to try it.

Looks great! I've wanted to try to smoke some cheese, also. No you've given me some inspiration. Really does look great.

I've been wanting to do this for a while, but don't have a vacuum sealer, maybe now I don't have to wait

I think I may give it a try once the temp drops... It has been in the mid 60s in Northeast Ohio

Good looking cheese.  You'll love it.  I just opened my first batch and it got devoured.

It was 70 outside here when I smoked it....sat the kettle in the shade....I'm sure vaccum sealing would be best, but I improvised....and yeah...the wait is killin me haha

You don't need a vac sealer. You can use the water displacement method. Fill your sink or a tub with water. As you sink your bag into the water, it will displace the air. It isn't 100% perfect, but it's close.
