smoked cheese
-
Just put down a little corn meal so it won’t stick. Pile your pie and put it in. In this picture I am using my big easy infrared turkey fryer (no oil). The grate that came with it fits a large pie perfectly. I have a smoker attachment on the side. Heat to 375. Does not take but about ten minutes.

Temps here in the Denver area finally cooled off. Stayed about 36* and cloudy all day so I started smoking cheese for the up coming Holidays. Did some Monterey Jack, CoJack & PepperJack in one smoke and a Medium Cheddar and Colby in the second smoke. Used a Hickory& Alder blend

I’ve been wanting to smoke cheese for years, every freaking Winter I tell my self I will. Then in the Spring time hits and I just say, well next year, maybe this is the year.

This happens to me as well. Well, more accurately, I think “I’m going to smoke some cheese so I have it ready for the holidays” (personally I prefer my smoked cheese after about 4 weeks). Then the week of Thanksgiving I think, welp…screwed that up!

That being said, I have some time this weekend. I think I might run to the store and do a batch on Sunday.

HerbcoFood I’ve got about 50lbs. I’ve got to smoke up. Been buying on sale since Labor Day. I only have 2 chunks left from my last smoke in March. We make up a cheese & sausage plates for the neighbors, the Dentists office, the barber and the wife’s office every year. It’s fun to do and having a slicer really helps. It’s easy to do . Give it a shot. You can do it in as little as 1 hour. I usually smoke for 2 ours, rotating sides every 15-20 minutes.

Midwest_kc I usually wrap mine smoked cheese tightly in plastic wrap after it is cooled and let it bloom for a week or so. I’ve been smoking cheese for about 15 years and NO failures yet!

Bob Stehlik Yeah, I usually wrap for 24 hours, then vac seal. Back when I did it more regularly, I did a test and tried it weekly between 1-6 weeks - new block each time. 4 was my sweet spot, but they were all good!

Dr_Pain I have a cold smoker on my Traeger and I but a pan of ice cubes on the shelf below the cheese.

Bob Stehlik Yeah my first go round will be very little and I am still in the great purge for clear out my freezer for this years venison haul. Last thing I need to be doing is buying a crazy volume amount of cheese to fill the freezer with!

Dr_Pain That’s what I use in my Traeger except I use the 5x8 A-maze-n maze. My Traeger runs just to hot, even in the cold side. I put the maze in the hot side and cheese in the cold side.

HerbcoFood I don’t freeze any of my cheese except the Mozzarella. My wife would shoot me if I filled up the big freezer with cheese. I tightly wrap with plastic wrap & vac seal & refrigerate. I have a small garage fridge that is strictly for cheese. I’ve had some last over a year from smoke date and still be as if it was smoked last week.

Smoking cheese on the cold side of my Traeger -
Bob Stehlik That is awesome! I wish my Louisiana Grill could do that but I will have to resort to smoke tube. The ice tray is a great suggestion, thanks!
Dr_Pain Still smoking more today Here’s a pic of a Traeger w/ a cold smoker.
