Just saw this on The Kitchn blog (here (http://www.thekitchn.com/thekitchn/cheese/yay-or-nay-smoked-cheese-the-cheesemonger-102955?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+apartmenttherapy%2Fthekitchn+%28The+Kitchn%29)) and thought it worth passing on...
"Up in Smoke is a small disc of smoked chevre wrapped in maple leaves from the farm's property. The leaves are smoked over the same alder and hickory chips used for smoking the cheese. The leaf wrappers are dampened with some bourbon to help with their malleability. We think it helps with the consumption, as well."
And here I thought Up in Smoke was a forum member!!
Wasn't "Up in Smoke" a movie with Cheech and Chong. ;D ;D
KH I have smoked Chevre before and some other local goat cheese and they turned out great. I am wondering how fetta would turn out.
It is in the middle 40s here in the evening now and I might just give it a try.

HR - If you try it, let us know how the bourbon-soaked leaves turn out (how bad could it be?).

Interesting, The Rogue Creamery Smokey Blue was smoked 16 hrs over Hazelnut shells!
