I never did any smoking with pellets before but saw this A-MAZE-N pellet smoker. After watching some videos on smoking cheese, I got one and tried it out. It seemed to work exceptionally well. Rather than use my big ol smoker, I tried doing this on the gas grill (not turned on as this is a cold smoke). Didnt realize how open the gill was till I started smoking and had to seal it up with foil the best I could. I figured this would work well just setting the cheese and the pellet smoker on the picnic table and putting a cardboard box over it but couldnt find a box big enough at the time. Anyway, smoked for four hours. Videos recommend vacuum packing for 4 weeks before eating to let the smoke infiltrate and distribute through the cheese as most the smoke is on the surface just after smoking and is too harsh to eat right away. I tried some and they are right about that. Got it all vacuum packed and now waiting 4 weeks to try again. That little pellet smoker amazed me. Couldn't believe the amount of smoke produced from so few pellets. The second picture shows how many pellets were burned after about 2 1/2 hours.
