I smoked a little over 28 pounds of cheese on my Hasty-Bake Gourmet and it came out great.
This is the cheese I started with for this smoke.
Prepping the cheese for smoking.
This 28.37 pounds is about all I can fit in the cooker.
I have a pan of ice under my cheese to help hold the temperature that I want to run in the cooker for this treat. Never over 80 degrees in the cooker for the best results.
My fire was 5 all hardwood briquets with a piece of hickory over it for my smoke.
