Good morning. I attached the Bella cold smoke generator. The only pellets I could find last minute were traeger hickory, maple, cherry blend from Home Depot. I was looking for pecan pellets because I’ve taken a liking to smoking with pecan lately. Filled half of the smoke generator and lit it with no problem. Plenty of smoke with it dialed back to 50% on the pump. Smoked for 3 hrs and the color looks good, temp stayed at 78 degrees. Sealed and out in the fridge to rest for a few weeks. Used pepper jack, sharp cheddar, colby jack and extra sharp Vermont cheddar.
Questions part because they might be terrible. Does the smoke from a cold smoke generator smell like a house fire? The cheese smells strong with a bad smoke smell. Not the kind of smell you get from a normal smoke. Even the garage and smoker stink right now. Is it normal to have a lot of moisture from a cold smoke? The inside of the smoker was wet and there was a decent amount of liquid in the catch pan. Thanks for any input!
