I haven't experienced too much smoke yet, and I use 3 oz. of wood for just about anything I smoke.  I have a the baby SI, so maybe that's why?  But yes, maybe if you wrap it up and give it some time in the fridge, some of the smoke might penetrate deeper into the loaf. 

I'm curious about the cheese. . .how do you incorporate it into/onto the loaf?  Where exactly does it go?

Hey Eric. I used 3 lbs in a single loaf and the smoke was perfect. Perhaps using smaller loaves absorbed more smoke. Just a thought.

Toni: Re the cheese, I just cut it into 1/4 - 1/2 inch cubes and mix it into the meat with the rest of the seasonings. If too many are on the surface, just poke them into the meat and smooth the mix over the hole.  I used grocery store Swiss, but you could use cheddar if you prefer.

Barrel: I think you may be right about the smaller loaves absorbing more smoke (more surface area).  And time in the fridge did help. I was very sad as I made my last sandwich...
