I have Pit Boss, also use a smoke tube.
Cheese is done during late fall and through winter with the smoke tube, cheese melts at 90, softer cheeses such as Monterey can start melting around 80. I use the smoke tube and do not turn the smoker on, this will give the cheese 4-5 hours of smoke if it's cool outside. And of course I use a temp. probe for all smoking.
Now for meat, I feel cold meat loves smoke, so I take the meat and put it in the smoker, but do not turn the smoker on, instead I use the smoke tube for 4-5 hours with no heat, then take the meat out, wrap in aluminum foil, then place it in the refrigerator until the next day when I fire the smoker up and do my regular smoke.
Smoke tubes are cheap, I am going to try to post a url for one below.
