How long do you guys usually smoke cheese for mac and cheese?

I've been experimenting with smoked mac and cheese and I'm curious about how long you usually smoke the cheese for. Is there a sweet spot for getting that perfect smoky flavor without it being too overpowering? Any tips or tricks?

I usually smoke cheese for mac and cheese for around 1 to 2 hours at a low temperature between 90°F to 100°F (32°C to 38°C). Then, I would put it in the fridge for a few days to mellow out the strong smoke taste.

For me, around 1-1.5 hours is plenty . I think any longer, and it can get too intense for mac and cheese, though it’s all about personal preference.
