smoked cheese

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.
Bob Stehlik Very interesting piece of knowledge…

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.

HerbcoFood I’ll try to put together a SOP on how I do it along with hints for different conditions and equipment. It may take me a while because it is very easy, but does have many variables; I.e. cheese type, ambient temp. , equipment type and wood type. It will be a good mental exercise for me. What kind of smoker do you have?

Bob Stehlik That is fine, I know how difficult it is just writing what you think is a simple recipe.

HerbcoFood Since there are so many variable for smoking cheese; equipment , types of cheese and even ambient temperatures; I decided to add a couple of links that I think cover the subject. The last one is for Smoked Cream Cheese and I have yet to try smoking cream cheese, but it leaves open a whole bucket full of ideas to use as a topping on the finished product.https://twiceastasty.com/2021/04/29/home-smoked-cheese/

https://www.smoking-meat.com/october-14-2021-smoked-cream-cheeseBob Stehlik I think if I was going to try smoking the cream cheese I might freeze it lightly first or at least super chill it. All I can see is it melting all over that tray they are using. Using my a-maze-n tray in the hot side and the cheese in the cold side I still get a bit of temp, not like using the pellet feed on the Traeger. Their seasonings all over the cheese may inhibit the melt as well. I think I would use parchment paper to on the grates rather than the tray.

Now that the weather has cooled down I think I am going to smoke some cheese. Thanks to everyone for input and ideas.

johnsbrewhouse Wholeheartedly agree. I do super chill my soft cheeses. I also don’t plan on a seasoning. My plan is to smother with a Hatch Chile Sauce or may even a Red Enchilada Sauce. So many possibilities!

My Green Mountain Grill has a cold smoke mode. You have to use a smoke wedge but the fan runs to circulate the smoke. I usually smoke when it’s below freezing, then there’s no need for ice.

Midwest_kc Mines a Daniel Boone. I kind of found it by accident. On mine I plug the grill on and open the app on my phone. From the app, I connect to the grill via Wifi. Then turn the power on from the app. You should get a screen on your phone that allows you to select cold smoke.

Midwest_kc Forgot to mention that the temp will show 30%. That’s the preset for the fan speed. You can adjust the fan speed to whatever level you want. Hope this helps.
