The WallyWill smoker V 1.0
« Reply #-1 on: December 23, 2014, 06:52:34 PM »
This is the WallyWill poor mans smoker. The cube smoker was a POS convection cooker/smoker that used to be sold at walmart. I added a small element underneath and used some threaded rod to make hanging racks and added a 5$ thermometer. I tested it today and believe it works a bit too well. Maybe next try I wont smoke summer sausage at 120 degrees F for apx 4 hours, then at 160 degrees F for 3 hours.

I probably should invest in a internal temperature probe as well...

 It cooked pretty well so I'm going to go back to the drawing board and tweak it a bit. In the meantime, I cheated and bought a used char-broil gas vertical smoker

I've turned the WallyWill into a cold smoker and will be testing it with some cheese this weekend. Pics soon

I have some cheddar, colby-jack, monterey jack, and pepper jack in the WallyWill smoker as I write this. I'm using the smoke daddy inc "smokincense" filled with pecan pellets.Ambient temp is 51 degrees. I'm planning on 2 hours of smoke, uncovered rest in the fridge for a few hours, then plastic wrap and a ziploc bag later.

I hope I can wait 2 or 3 weeks to test the result. Pics will be on my flicker account (thatbrewerdude)

Smoked the second batch today. Muenster, havarti, aged cheddar. The smoke has mellowed a bit in the first batch. I sealed those up in vacuum bags. With this batch I am leting the cheese rest in the fridge overnight and will start them in vacuum bags. 2 hours again in the WallyWill, pecan pellets in the smokincense.

Theres about 1.5 months left of cooler weather so I plan on smoking some serious cheese

Cheddar from batch #1, smoked on 1/18. Needs another week or so for mellowing, but it's really good. I'm liking this cold smoking cheese thing. A lot

I call it WallyWill because the smoker box was from walmart and the heating element was from a goodwill electric grill. I may have to create another moniker since this it will be a dedicated cold smoker.

Old Cold Wally?

Ideas, anybody?
