Well being the experience smoker you are NePa I'm sure you know this already but this is what I learnt on my very first cheese smoke. My first batch I should have turned the cheese's a couple of times to get even penitration on the smoke and good colour all around. My first batch seemed stronger smoke favoured on one side because I never flipped them around during the smoke time.

Thats why i put the queso on the other side of the smoke tube so it dont take the smoke as fast.
I love smoked Gouda! ;D
I turn cheese about once per hour.
Got em done ready to wrap and date. I hope the lady who gets the gouda can hold out :D
