Just some summertime smoked mozzarella

[SMOKE FREAK]

Was going to make a recipe that called for Buffalo Mozzarella...
A quick search told me that this is cheese made from the milk of water buffalo...WTF...
Aint no water buffalo in Kansas
But it got the wheels a turning...Thinking buffalo wings the whole time...

So I got a couple pounds of fresh mozz and smoked em up like this...1/2 pound of each...
Smitties....
Hot Whang...
Tatonka dust...
and plain ol mozz...

Brought the Chargriller into action for this...
Lit a few chunks of lump and added a foil pack of pecan chips...


After about an hour...No meltdown...
I rarely smoke for more than an hour because I like to taste the cheese along with the smoke...


After chilling in the fridge...

I sliced up the plain one...



The awesome T-dust...


Smitties...


And of course the Hot Whang...


All I need now is a good summer sausage and a few cold drinks and Im ready to sit down and watch the race...


Summer time smoked cheese...
See Rich?

Looks Great, Craig!!!

I could help with the tasting without any problem.

You gotta put more heat on to get it to string through the grill to the fries below.

Just sayin',

[Meat Hunter]

Tasty looking cheese smoke! Some of Bears caseless pepper on would go great with your cheese! So would a nice smokey Mezcal cocktail!

[Fishawn]

Man if those don't look great! I love me some mozzarella

[Abelman]

You're killing me.....what did they taste like?

They look great and I love that cheese.

[Wingman]

Nicely done Craig! I see all that cheese and think wood fire cooked pizza. I bet a Margarita style pizza would rock with the HAW mozzarella.

[SmokinOutBack]

Very well played Craig.

I have done the same using jack cheese...That worked a bit better due to less moisture...This cheese got kinda wet on the outside when bagged...

I like the way you think...No way that could be bad...

Well race is over was the cheese as good as the race.

[Meat Hunter]

I had to take another look

I like Wingmans idea. Pizza with that on it would be freakin fantastic.
