Yup, easy as can be with an A-Maze-N smoker(y)

I smoke cheese, eggs, salt year round with mine.
How do you do your eggs? Shell on or off? How long?

Btw, thanks for reminding me to put on salt

I do shell off for 4-6 hours with moderate to heavy smoke. Can probably get away with less but I go heavy on smoke so I still get a good hint of smoke if I pickle them.

That looks awesome!

Have any of you somehow messed up and came back to a big pile of melted cheese?
This is my first time and I didn't use any heat at all so no risk of melting. You need to keep it under 90 degrees is what I've read.

I've seen cold smoking disaster pics but I've never lost a batch. I've had mine up to 80-90 ish smoking in the summer with out melting. Some of the softer cheeses sunk into the grates a bit. IMO the best batches I've done were flirting with disaster temp wise.

3 1/2 hours. Hopefully the amount of time was right. Smells great.
Looks good! I'd let the cheddar rest a couple weeks before digging in(longer if sharp) but the jacks and mozzarella are pretty good right off the smoker.

Never even thought about smoking salt but now that you've explained it, it makes perfect sense. Now I need to figure out how to cold smoke on my green egg, I've seen it done on the green egg forum with salmon but not cheese or salt.

Go to the link in one of my post above. Would work perfect in your green egg.

Here ya go.
