Gave the cheese another shot...

[drewan]

Tried smoking some cheese last night it was a roll of the dice .
I had Colby,Cheddar,Pep Jack, and swiss . The Swiss and Colby I had to toss because it melted the cheddar and Pep jack did good was only on for an hour and a half though I had a hell of a time keeping the chips lit. They are now Vacpacked and in the fridge waiting .

Never Give Up!

Hell yes! Giving the cheese another shot was definitely the right thing to do!

Sorry to hear you had some meltage, but it sounds like the cheese that made it through should be fine with an hour and a half's worth of smoke.

I predict you will be very happy with the results!

I hope so lol we'll see in a few weeks the meltage was from me lighting the smoker so I could get some smoke going since nothing I was doing was working.

hey Drew go find your self an old stainless steel kettle about 8" in dia. drill 1/8" holes in about 1/3's of the bottom.Then when you smoke your cheese lite 2 pieces of coal put them in the vented side of the kettle and add your chips or saw dust i use a mix of both this will stay under 100 degrees and give you hrs of smoke hope this helps

I smoked a bunch of cheeses last week with the a-maze-n pellet smoker in my MES and the temps never got above 82*. The outside temps were about 80*. I can't say enough about the a-maze-n pellet smoker. Lots of nice smoke & almost zero heat. One of the cheeses was havarti, a relatively soft cheese & no melting.

Keep them temps down.... Have set my cheese on a wire grate directly over a tray of ice before which seems to help..... Sometimes, chit just happens

That ice tray is a good idea.

That ice tray is a good idea.

That picture was not mine.... Anyone who wants to claim it can take one step forward
