Type of wood for smoking cheese.....

[ArnieM]

Stilly, if you're smoking fairly firm cheese, 80-90 in the cabinet should be fine.  I like it at that temp.

Now, going totally off-topic.  The Bradley Smoker is an appliance, isn't it?  Why do we do all of this strange stuff to get it to work the way we want it?  There are no forums for my fridge or range telling me how to add ducting, fans or cardboard boxes to get it to work.  I think we're kind of a strange lot.  I dunno.  Maybe that's where the fun comes in.

We're all mad scientists trying to achieve yum-yum greatness!!

And your right.... The range and fridge is not nearly as fun

:D

I smoked the cheese on Friday at 80 degrees with 2 hours of pecan.

I'm sorry to say... I just tried it and it is horrible.

Is smoked cheese an aquired taste ?

I believe it's going in the trash:)

WHOOOOAAAAAAA HOLD THE PHONE!!!!!! DO NOT TRASH your cheese Stilly!!!!!! You need to wrap it in plastic wrap or vac seal it and put it in the fridge for 10 days. Then try it. If you just smoked it two days ago it probably still tastes like your licking an ashtray and is Damn Nasty. Wrap it or vac seal it and let it sit for the 10 days you will enjoy it a lot better after the resting period.

I am not an expert but everyone says you need to wrap in plastic and age for about 30 days
I have a slab of cheddar I am getting to smoke when the weather cools off and that is what I will do.
2 hours of smoke and 30 days in a vac pac

Smoking is a sport and patience with stuff is not a virtue but a mandatory requirement

Stilly I forgot to add that I smoked some cheese on Oct 27th and I am just now starting to open a few of the packages and do some taste testing.
