gdub3542 You can place a rack over a roaster full of ice cubes and crack the lid with piece of a 1x1/1x2 to let some of the heat out. It’s also very important to keep the sun off of your unit as well. I use my easy up or a 9ft diameter umbrella. I also have an Amazin Smoke Tube that works well, you don’t even have to turn your Traeger on in order to smoke cheese. I’ve had a Traeger Lil Tex since 2005 and put a Traeger Cold Smoker on the end of it. I smoke about 50+ lbs of cheese a year, but I usually smoke it between November & into April to take advantage of the cooler temps. I also smoke a lot of nuts, seeds, peanut butter and salmon on the Traeger.

The smoking tubes are really handy. I’ve got one myself and it’s been a favorite gift/stocking stuffer of mine for friends and family over the years. Cheese is my main purpose for it but I’ve smoked salt, nuts, Deviled eggs and such with it too. It opens a lot of doors.
