Who is Who(m) on Smoking Cheeses

[Serial Griller]

I've been pondering buying an accessory that attaches to my Traeger. It's offset from the heat and has a damper to control the temp. It basically attaches where the original exhaust pipe is.
I was also told that if you wrap your cheese with ONE layer of cheese cloth it will hold its shape better and not sag..But does that really matter?
Again..Has anyone ever used a Traeger cold smoker ? I can't seem to find anyone other than the Traegar dealer who has used one?

I have to agree and used Alien's contraption last week vs. pulling out the electric. Worked like a champ. Just don't oversmoke it, which I did on one and it just tastes like a smoke something vs. smoke cheese. Took about 2 minutes to make and works awesome. Doubt I will pull out the lil chief if I want to do some chees quickly anymore.

I'm smoking 12 blocks of cheese tomorrow for x-mas gifts. I'll post pics if I can drag the smoker from the backyard into the garage through the mud. It's been raining for days here.

Thanks Alien... I like that idea. I will try that. I don't have smoking wood just pellets. So I guess I can put pellets wrapped in foil with holes punched in it on top of the charcoal.
Another one of your "out-of this -world" Ideas!!!

I used some flashing with about three pices of lump and some chunks of
hickory, smoked for one hr. the temp. stayed below 80. Since I am in
FL. I did it early in the morning and only a couple chunks of cheese.

Well, it never stopped raining. In fact it's still raining. Since I didn't want to drag my Silver Smoker from the back yard into the garage I made a box smoker. I used 3 Ranchers briquettes and apple wood chips.

Here's the cheese.

I hung the grill using the S hooks off of some rubber straps.

Here's the unit fired up.

A shot looking into the smoking chamber.

The temps never got above 55 F and actually went down to 45 F by the end of the smoke.


The results were pretty good. I broke my own rule and smoked the cheese for 30 minutes longer than I should have. I usually only smoke cheese for 1 hour or less.

It's all food savered now and waiting to be labeled.

I tried Alien's idea of cold smoking cheese and it came out great.
I made a two layer heavy-duty foil basket with holes for air. Started four pieces of charcoal and put the foil basket in the Traeger and put 4-5 pieces of alder chunks on top for smoke. Put the mozzarella and habenaro pepper jack on the other end. Smoked them for an hour.The temps stayed around 59'-65. It was 28' outside.
Didn't turn on the Traeger just used it to house everything.
Alien was right--you don't need to spend the money for the Traeger cold smoke attachment.
Thanks Alien.. another "out of this world" idea!!!
