Cold smoking cheese (pron)

CarlWayne · 01-21-2013, 02:41 PM

Well I started the thread how I wanted to learn to cold smoke cheese so I gathered info and I'm hoping for the best. Just bought some cheap cheddar and pepper jack blocks of cheese. Put 2 on as a practice round. Everything went good so I put 2 more on. Smoking with oak chips tin can and soldering iron.

Looks good let us know how it turns out and if you were able to keep the temps down with your setup!

Haven't had any problem with the temperature yet. Mainly just keeping an eye on the cheese making sure it isn't sweating or anything. It's about 50 here and I placed the grill in the shade. Things seem to be going good.

Yep keep it under 80 and you should be just fine,
I use my Wine barrel smoker with the AMPS and do amazing cold smoking

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Cold Smoking!

Just a word of caution.....your cheese bills will now go through the roof as will the urge to make bacon on a weekly basis!!!

I wasn't overly impressed with the tin can / soldering iron set up (could be because I used a cheapo plastic handled iron) but the handle started to melt slightly.

The Pro Q cold smoke generator is awesome though...12hrs plus of thin blue smoke.

I'm thinking about getting an Amaz'n tube sent over and check it out.
