How long should I smoke cheddar in 1.5" think slices? I'm using an amazing maze/pellets.
Does it make a difference WSM or Kettle?
Two to three hours for smoking cheese.
Let rest for three to four weeks wrapped in plastics wrap before eating.
Cheers

Thanks. Got this as I was hitting the 2 hr mark. Going for 2.5.
I've always vac sealed right away and let meld for at least 4 weeks.
I never smoke more than 90 minutes. I like to taste the cheese too. Not just smoke.
I think it depends on the smoking temperature. If I light one end of my pellet maze, it raises the temp inside the kettle by 20 degrees. If it's below freezing temps outside then the cheese won't absorb the smoke nearly as much as if your smoking at a 50 degree outside temperature and 70 degree smoking temp. If that makes sense anyway.
If your smoking temp is around room temp then the cheese will absorb smoke quickly imo and does not need to be on long.
