So lets smoke some cheese!!





Habenero pepper, horseradish, havarti, white cheddar and provolone  ;D
I hope I didnt over do the smoke...went for 2 hours of hickory. This is my first cheese smoke..it's going to be hard to wait through the resting period  :-\
But good things come to those who wait right?

Bagged and ready to get lost in the back of the fridge ;D
The smoke smell is really pungent..cant wait to see how it turns out.

That looks like a good haul!  Yeah, the waiting sucks.  But think of it as improving the results -- the longer the better .. until you just can't stand it any more.  You're gonna love that stuff.
I like animals, they taste good!

It does look good. How long can you keep it vac-sealed in the fridge and what is the minimum amount of time you need to let it do its thing in the fridge?

Nice looking stash.  Trust me, it'll be worth the wait.

A week to ten days is my minimum.

As far as a max, I've gone a year and it was still good.

Just make plenty, nothing worse than waiting two weeks and having it all disappear in one sitting - Especially around here, I get about 3 or four good cheese smoking days.

Will do! We should be getting some cooler weather soon, maybe after turkey day and I can give it a try!

Here's what I do with the full size pans Hal,



To hold full slabs of ribs of course hehehe
Couldn't pass em up, got all three for $15 on eBay.

I taste tested the cheese from this smoke tonight..still too strong  :-\

I think it's getting close though. The end piece was like licking an ash tray or taking a swig out of a beer can that had butts in it  ::) :o The next slice was better but still too strong. I'm shooting for some time in may  :D The wait is almost more than I can bear  :'(
