Smoked some cheese yesterday and the cabinet temp only got up to 55. Do you think that is warm enough to let the smoke penetrate or should I do it over and set the PID to 70. I do not use the PID at all right now just use the cold smoke set up. I did not smell the cheese just vacuum packed it in frig for 2 weeks just like I have done before.
Watchdog,
Your cheese should be fine. I don't think my cabinet temp has ever gotten about 65-68* when smoking cheese and I have never had a problem.
It should be ok, probably did not take on as much color but I'm sure it got some smoke flavor.
Thanks,that is what I was hoping.
