I smoked some cheese last week and am now hooked.  I was wondering if anyone has smoked string cheese and maybe had some pointers.  If not I guess I will have to do a little trial and error.

Thanks

Yours must have come out much better than mine did. After about 1-2 hours in the smoke, they were tough and rubbery. I have not tried any more since.
 
I have not for a while, but I have and it came out great.  
 
Yes smoked string cheese is great! If you can cold smoke them that's the best way. Well that can probably be said about any cheese as that way you don't have to worry about it melting.
 
Thanks guys.  I am going to have to some this weekend.  Do you guys still give a couple of weeks or are they able to go sooner

Thanks

Rowdy, I gather you have an AMNPS? I did a big bag from Sam's and smoked it for 2hrs. Came out great.  I would like to hold it for 2 weeks , but the Mouse in the House(Trish) eats it up before I can get any age on it.

I have an AMZN dust not pellet (yet).  This was the first time I have used it.  I tried some after about a ten days and it still had kind of a stale smoke taste, I have some more vac sealed and will try it this weekend but my first go round may have a flaw in it........not sure I let the AMAZN settle down and had to relight it a couple of times do to not enough dust put in to begin with.  Next time I will let it burn for about ten min and put plenty of dust in to begin with.  Any advice is appreciated as well
 
With string cheese I found it only needed to go 30 min with my amps. Mozzarella is a softer cheese so it absorbs the smoke easier. Also since they are so small I didn't see the need to let them sit for 2 weeks (they were gone within 2 or 3 days). 

The best way to figure out what you like is a test run. Start them smoking and after 1/2 hr taste one, if it needs more smoke let them smoke longer and taste another one after 15-30 more min. 
 
Well got into on them. The lesson learned is formozzarella string cheese 2 hours is plenty texture did not change and great flavor. The one for 6 hours was definitely a big change in texture very rubbery in texture and not a whole of change in smoke flavor had about the same as the 2 hour one. It all disappeared regardless. Lol. Sorry it took so long to follow up.
