Today started out cold & rainy so... I figured that it would be a good day for trying to smoke some cheese. This is probably the last chance this year to try it given that THE HEAT is just around the corner.
I don't have an A-maze-n smoker but I did come up with something that worked fairly well. I took one of those stainless steel boxes that you can use for adding smoke to a grill - you fill it with chips & set it on the coals, I used some hickory & oak. I then set one of those old electric charcoal starters under it to provide the heat...
Set out some mozzarella & cheddar on my Horizon...
Aboot an hour into the smoke, so far so good...
Then for some reason I decided to move the cheese closer to the firebox. Big mistake...
After aboot three hours I found that the cheddar tried to escape through the grate. All in all it worked fairly well. I was still able to salvage most of the cheddar.
Thanks for lookin'.
