Title: Smoking Cheese on my Hasty-Bake Gourmet
Post by: Old Dave on April 28, 2018, 01:06:34 AM

I smoked a little over 28 pounds of cheese on my Hasty-Bake Gourmet and it came out great.

This is the cheese I started with for this smoke.

Prepping the cheese for smoking.

This 28.37 pounds is about all I can fit in the cooker.

I have a pan of ice under my cheese to help hold the temperature that I want to run in the cooker for this treat. Never over 80 degrees in the cooker for the best results.

My fire was 5 all hardwood briquets with a piece of hickory over it for my smoke.

I smoked this batch of cheese for 115 minutes.

Yep, It's that time again for me too.
I have had the cheese in the fridge for about two weeks, but haven't found the time to get it in the smoker.
Looks great Dave.
