Indeed. Nice smoke flavor. If you have never tried hot smoking cheese. You might give it a try. You need to put it in a container of course. I use a pie pan. Cube the cheese up and let it smoke. Yes, it will melt and that changes the texture of the cheese but im my opinion in a good way. I will usually add a couple of shots of tabasco. Smoke and hour or so, it should be most or all melted. Let it firm up and cut it or break into pieces. Serve with some crackers and some sausage. BTW this not the same as the recipe above. I think after reading I may have mislead. Chili con queso should be severd hot and melted. The Smoked hot cheese is a different recipe. Sorry about the confusion
