I don't use an AMAZEN gadget...But have used pistachio shells...Also almond shells work very well...Other than that I like pecan or cherry with cheese...
I have been on a CHEESE BINGE for the past two weeks or so.....
I also use an Amazn Tube in my Yoder and my "ugly black box".....I like the cheese RIGHT out of the smoke, so a good percentage goes into my belly!
My two week 'cure' seems to mellow out the "bite" from right off the smoker. I have found that fans of intensely smoked flavor tend to like the "ends" that are closer to the smoke.
Personal preference is cheese that has been smoked/vac packed for about a month to six weeks. It tends to "mellow" the bite and has a very even taste.
Experiment and see what works for you and your friends!
