Title: Apple Smoked Cheese
Post by: HighOnSmoke on June 26, 2014, 12:02:23 PM

I am completely out of my smoked cheddar and getting low on the rest, so I decided to replenish
our supply.

Cut in half (not a good cutting job, too early in the AM  ???) and ready to put onto the Grid Iron.

Put in the Grid Iron with BBQr’s Delight Apple Pellets and a pan of ice. Outside temp at 7:00 AM is
75 degrees.

2 hours later and they had as much smoke as I wanted to give them.  Inside chamber temp when
I pulled the cheese was 91 degrees.

Vacuum sealed, after letting it rest for 2 hours, and will be waiting impatiently for the next month
to sample!

That sounds like a perfect cheese smoke and it looks like it's going to be great in a month.
