Started with a smoke tube in gasser, progressed to maze in kettle, then got a smoking cabinet, via cardboard box & re-purposed kitchen cabinet. Prefer ambient to be low single figures but below 10c, set cabinet up outside not in direct breeze, load cabinet, load maze with desired dust, light , ensure smouldering, adjust bottom vent so decent draw, leave but check back in periodically to ensure still smoking  Last maze of beech dust lasted approx 9/10hours.

The picture shows 3 kgs of cheap cheddar portioned & 2 stilton blocks portioned.

Have cold smoked sausages from my butcher having checked they had pink salt (still living so obviously), hallumi, mozzarella, red leicester, trout, garlic, paprika & strawberries.

It is really easy to do & having got a domestic vac sealer can do chesse in colder months to last the year. Once opened keep dust in airvtight container indoors, clean maze with old tooth brush, don't wash it either, sorry clean police...

Wade will be able to give more in depth advice but just what i do.

I have the smoke generator (pro q??). Going to start with using the kamado to begin with. Mainly just basic and low risk stuff really...and see where that takes me.

Thanks for the details. I have been eyeing up a vac sealer for a while now so this might just tip the scales😁
