The old lady was asking (nagging) me to do something with the brick of Gouda I bought from Costco. That and some Tillamook Sharp Cheddar. With advice from this great board I hit it with about 2 pans of hickory over the same amount of hours, using tin foil and a bowl of ice to keep the heat down. Front door cracked open for extra venting. The cheese turned out great and is delicious! Thank you Smoked-Meat Forum.

looks great to me, xlr - i use my little chief all the time for things like this, as it was designed perfectly for these kinds of jobs ~ looks like you've learned some of the tricks to try if it gets to running too warm, so i'd say you're good to go!Fundamentals matter.

Thanks all!
We did vacuum pack, but had a taste of each already. 3 weeks is gonna be torture!

Congrats on your first cheese smoke, there will be plenty more to come I'm sure.
And as suggested, give it 2 weeks sealed and you won't believe the difference in it once it's had time to rest, meld and mellow.
The comes cheese and crackers, on burgers, in mac n cheese, sauces and so many wonderful dishes but mine were always lucky if they made it past straight snacking
