  • Say cheeeese...w/pics

    Well its time for some cheese and here's how its done on the Chargriller...

    First we start with 1.5# sharp cheddar and 1.5# pepper jack. I unwrap the cheeses and rest them in the fridge for 6 hours (usually overnight) to dry the surface and get it ready for smoke.
    The cheeses...


    Then I make a foil packet filled with pistacio nut shells...


    Hey! Who let the dogs out?


    Here I add 10 partially lit briquettes to Rusty"s firebox...as far to the right side as possible...on a hot day I'd use less but its a cool breezy evening...


    Now I place the perfectly perforated packet of pistacio shells on the coals...


    The cheese goes as far to the left as possible, right next to the exhaust...I want as much space as possible between the heat and the cheese...


    After only 40 minutes all I can say is Yummmmmm...


    Then back into the fridge to cool...Bag it and store it as long as you can stand it...It gets better with age...

            I need to do a cheese smoke again. It has been cooler here lately, maybe I could sneak one in before it gets real hot again. Looks good man.

                Nice SMOKEFREAK. I love smoked cheese and pistachios. Heard of using the shells just never tried it. Interesting.

                How long you think you'll last before you cut into it? LOL.

                            By using just a few coals and seperating them as much as possible I dont worry about temp. I dont even check temp at all. When I was putting coals on split logs (which works very well) The temp would continually rise. This way I get the smoke and the coals and the shells run out at the same time... about 40-45 min and its over...Cant get any easier than that...
