Cured Meats & Food Preservation > COLD SMOKING!
Oops - I should have thought this one out
muralboy:
Had some Three Alarm Pepper Cheese and red pepper cheddar cheese sitting in my fridge begging to be smoked. Decided to use try out my Vortex pellet tray rather than the Big Kahuna.
Removed the drip pan, loaded up the pellets, placed the Vortex on top of the deflector with the cheese position right over top - DUH! Never thought about the heat coming up from the tray. Oh well, lesson learned. At least it wasn't a total loss.
Vortex worked great though. Pellets burned all the way through.

Well looks like most of the cheese made it through

Well, unless theres a third (missing ) pic of it dripping down through the grates :'( :) I would have to agree with Mike. Most of it looks like it made it and I bet you can find a use for all of it....

No I think I caught right before the critical meltdown. The one block of cheese on the middle-right just started a drip line. Next time I'll know better not to place the tray directly under the cheese.
I usually don't have to think about this with my Big Kahuna since the heat/smoke source is outside of the grill. I did like how the Vortex performed though

You brought back some sad memories where it got way to hot to cold smoke cheese in my Big Red Box. We all learn new lessons from time to time.
