Smoked Cheese

Small folding camping stove for about $5

The small can fits right in the stove

A mixture of hickory and apple wood pellets

The fuel can lid removed and the small camp stove set inside of the smoker body.

Fuel can lit and access door closed

Tray of wood pellets on top of the stove

The water pan in the normal position but filled with ice to keep any excess heat from melting the cheese

The pellets starting to smoke

Time to add the cheese. From the top down I have Colby Jack, Mozzarella, Sharp Cheddar and Pepper Jack. I cut each block in half to get more surface area. The thermometer in the middle will help monitor the grate temp.

The thermometer in the lid never registered above 100°

A light smoke for a couple of hours, pulled and wrapped in plastic wrap. Back in the fridge to cool and reset.

  1. It took you 8 days to start smoking cheese? I am surprised it was not the next day 0:-)
