Yeah, more smoked cheese ...

... I guess it's that time of year.  Only a few pics and some comments.

I waited until today and got a balmy 38 degrees in the afternoon.

The candidates get lined up.


Everybody goes into the smoker.  Figured I'd try a block of cream cheese (up there on top).


Four hours of apple.  Surprisingly the cabinet temp was pushing 90; had to open the door a crack to help keep the temp down.

I was also surprised the cream cheese held up well.  The Swiss was starting to melt, on the upper right.


Finally, all bagged up.  This 'hobby' is starting to feel more like work  :-\



Comments:

- The OBS was in the shade and it was pretty breezy.  I didn't figure the cabinet temp would go so high so fast.

- Spray some oil on the racks.  It helps to keep the cheese from sticking.

- Use the top racks.  It's cooler up there.

- I think the max temp should be around 80. 

Now, the waiting begins  >:(

It does look good. I use my hi temp screens from Yard & Pool, when doing cheese. It gives the cheese more support and I have never had it start to drip like your did. I think it must have been over 90 degrees for it to deform that much. But it all came out looking good. Now the 2 week wait.  ;D

Is it ready yet?

I don't think the jack/jalapeno is gonna be any good!

Put it the trash in vac packs and I'll be by tomorrow to pick it up.

Arnie for cheese you definately don't want to rely on the cabinet thermo. You should use your other one.

Good thought cousin.  I might ask Ka Honu to send me the one he used on his turtle.  :'(
