I recently got a pellet smoking tube and have been smoking a ton of cheese and hot links. Was on the fence about getting one for a while, but they are cheap and work amazing and produce very very little heat. I was smoking some links this evening and it occurred to me that this would be a good option for smoking hides. Takes a few min to set it up and uses 2 cups of pellets. The thing smokes for 5-6 hours and only smolders the whole time.

It should work if you can get the hide attached to it, remember you don't want to just smoke the hide, you need to force the smoke through the hide, I sew mine up in a sack form and attach to the pipe out of the smoker, it forces the smoke through the hide.

Morgan what kind of cheese & what temperature do you smoke it at?

I’ve been smoking cheddar, Gouda, pepper jack, and Colby jack. Been smoking it using only the pellet tube, no other heat other than the pellets in the tube smoldering like a cigar burning down. In the 35-40 degree outside evening temps we’ve had, inside my smoker hasn’t gotten over 70°.
