Light 2-3 pieces of coal and place on the soaked wood of your choice whether it's apple, hickory, whatever and let the smoke begin.

About an hour at 90* should be sufficient. The trick is keeping the temp down so make sure your thermometer works properly.

If you have a kettle grill, put the wood and coals on one side and use fire bricks or even just tin foil to make a wall up to the grate to protect the cheese from the direct heat. When I cook low and slow on the kettle I'll secure the trap door in the open postion and foil the door as well.

Close the bottom vent and open the top one just a touch to maintain the temp you want.

Here's a look at the kettle method when I did a brisket flat. The water bowl acted as a heat sink to help maintain temp.

Might as well include this one from several hours later:

Brisket? That looks like a tiny New York strip maybe!

No wonder CP's so skinny, you don't feed her!
