Cheese For The Snowbirds.

Little windy today so did some various cheeses.







Apple pellets via the Amazn 6" grenade for 1.5 hours. I dont use ice as it creates condensation. Keep your vent full open.




Room temp rest for a couple hours, then cheese cloth wrap, brown paper bag and fridge for couple days before vac sealing. Ready in bout 1.5-2 months.

Looks great!

A few questions - I know why you room temp (to let it cool down)

Why do you wrap, bag and refridge prior to vacuum seal?

I assume that it can be eaten right away, but sealing for a month or two helps flavor - Is this correct?

Do you keep in the fridge after vacuum seal?


Thanks for your help

The cheese after smoking is not hot as i dont use heat from my smoker. Only heat is coming from the smoking pellets approx 80-90*

I like to wrap and fridge for a couple days so the smoke mellows some before vac sealing. Sealing helps mellow the smoke. Some folks eat right after or a couple days, I dont, it would be like eating one of my burnt cigars.

If you waxed the cheese you could leave at room temp but i like to fridge. My longest was 2.5 years.

Tip: If you vac sealer has a pulse feature, try to use that instead of a full draw. A full draw can pull the oil out of the cheese.
