Jalepeno & Cheddar Pepperoni Stix

[Keymaster]

I mixed up 5 pounds of Jalepeno and Cheddar Pepperoni stix this morning. I hand cut the Tillamook Cheddar and Jalepenos, I just cant bring myself in buying that High temperature cheese yet  $$$$ ;D I got them in the smoker at 11AM and I'll start a hour and a half of Alder smoke at Noon, then the big wait.... Hope they turn out good, this is a mix of different recipes :-\









More pics to follow in about 6 hours, I think, maybe, I hope :D

If you did not use hi temp cheese it will probably just melt. At least that is what it did when I tried it. When the temp gets over 90F it usually starts to melt but good luck.

Thanks fer the warning Watchdog, I had to try it myself before I paid $20 for a pounda cheese, I packed them tight so if it melts it should stay put and harden back up in the bloom, cold pizza is good right ;D

Looks fantastic.

You dont need to use hi temp, regular cheese in 1/4" cubes works great.

Nice job Aaron!

That looks like a winner!

Aaron we should be finishing right about the same time. I used plain pepperjack in mine. I'm not a fan of the waxy taste I get from high temp cheese.

[pfowl01]

I used some high temp swiss that I got from Butcher & Packer this year and it wasn't waxy at all. I wanna say I paid $25 for 5lbs of it.

Woops, Fell asleep on sausage watch but it may be ok. Taste ok, some cheese is left but theres a few holes where the cheese used to be ;D note to self: either dont drink whiskey on sausage watch or buy that hi-temp cheese stuff :o this is what I woke up to at 10 PM, I had the smoker maxxed out at 9 hours so i know it atleast had nine hours of heat and when i fell asleep the IT was at like 123° F and it sure looks like it hit a IT of 152° F. IT was 89° F on wake up.
