I've never used an electric charcoal starter so I know nothing about them. How hot do they get? After seeing where someone used a can full of wood pellets and a soldering iron to generate smoke for cheese, I wondered if you could use a pan of wood chips/pellets/chunks with an electric charcoal starter in them to generate heat and smoke. I would either use my gas grill and put the cheese on the warming rack or my ECB which I basically have no use for now that I've built a drum and have more on the way.
And another thing, how deeply does smoke penetrate home smoked cheese? I know that when I buy smoked cheese every bit of it tastes smoky. If you're supposed to let cheese set out so that the outside hardens a little before smoking, how does the smoke penetrate?
