Last Chance Cheese Smoke

Postby Smoking Piney » Sun Mar 31, 2019 6:20 pm

With the weather quickly warming up, I got a last chance to smoke some cheese before it gets too warm. I pressed the Assassin into use. I smoked Gouda, Havarti, Asiago, Swiss, Colby Jack, white cheddar, and a few weird blends my wife chose.

My Amaze-N pellet maze loaded with alder pellets, grease trap pulled on on the bottom of the cook chamber. The bag for the pellets sat outside since winter and there was a hole in the bag. I microwaved the pellets for about a minute to dry them out:

A small pizza stone over the maze to diffuse the smoke a bit:

Cheese is on. I used colored toothpicks to remember what cheese is what when I vac seal them this evening:

Image

Two hours of smoke and done.....resting in the cool air until I can vac seal them:

They will need 2 to 3 weeks in the fridge to mellow a bit before we dig in. This oughta hold my wife and I for a bit. :D

It's the last of it since it's getting warmer here, and will be my summer stash. It stays fresh a LONG time vac sealed in the fridge. :D

I have sprinkled chili flakes on some, dill on others and basil on other cheeses prior to the vac pac stage, you can get some real good products after the mellowing stages.

I also took advantage of the cooler temps - got a couple of habanero cheddar blocks smoked up for friends. So far this year it's been 38 blocks of cheeses smoked. I fully expect another cool shot by Easter so there may be more to come. Looking good there SP.... :thap:

Another venture added to my to-do list: smoked cheese. That is right beneath trying out OUP's rippers. :laughing7:
