Hot smoked cheese???

[Roget]

Do any of you hot smoke cheese?

I was talking to a man yesterday about smoking, & he mentioned that he always smokes his cheese at about 150F or higher.

He puts his cheese on a tray, smokes it, it melts & forms a sheet in  the tray. When it cools & hardens he cuts it into squares & eats it right away.
He says it is great.

Has anyone tried a process like this?

Haven't done it, but it's worth a try for sure.  Especially the "eat it right away" part!  Thanks for posting.

Sounds interesting, let us know how it turns out.

Has anyone successfully smoked a block of velveeta? I'm thinking that would make one heck of a cheese dip.

OK. You give it a try and please video the part about eat right away :)
I would love to see this part lol

In my older smokers, Brinkmann Bullet, etc I could take a block of cheese, make a foil "boat" and place the cheese in the boat and smoke.  It would melt and then solidify when removed from the smoker.  It could be eaten immediately.  Not sure that would work very well in a Bradley though.  I would be afraid of the ashtray taste.

Okay.  So who's gonna try it?  I can't today but maybe Wed or Thurs.

I think Curt hot smokes his cheese.

I have smoked velveeta many times. Just need to keep the smoker a little cooler than when doing regular cheese.

I'm with KyNola on this one. I'd expect the ashtray taste.  :o  ;D

I have smoked velveeta several times. Works best when you cut a 2lb block lengthwise. Usually I smoke it with hickory, for about 2 hours with my AMZNPS. It is ready to eat in about 3 weeks. Also, you can smoke cream cheese, just make sure the temp stays below 80. Ready in about 2 weeks. Both of these softer cheeses take smoke real well. The velveeta is phenomenal with rotel in a dip, or made as a grilled cheese sandwich. Hope this helps.

Well, here goes.  2 x 16 oz medium cheddar just hit the smoker @ 150F.  Gonna do 2 hrs of Special Blend.  Don't want to waste my Apple pucks.



Updates as they happen!!

Well, it "turned out".  I'll post the whole story after supper in "Cheeses" so as not to clutter this one.
