Step

  • 1

    When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 165°F and preheat lid closed, for 15 minutes.

    165 ˚F / 74 ˚C

  • 2

    Place half-size pan in center of full-size pan. Surround half-size pan with ice filled all the way to the top.

  • 3

    Place cheese in half-size pan sitting on top of toothpicks or a cooling rack so it allows airflow around the cheese and prevents sticking. Place pan on grill.

  • 4

    Smoke cheese for 1 hour. Open grill and flip cheese over. Add more ice around pan into melted water and continue smoking for 1 more hour.

    165 ˚F / 74 ˚C
