Cheese, Salsa and Salt...oh my

[steve-o]

Took my first try at doing cheese today, it was more difficult than I thought it would've been to keep the temperature low without a cold smoke adapter, but a puck to prop open the door ended up working well. I also thought that salsa may taste pretty good with smoke so I poured a jar in a bowl and smoked that too(stirred it every once in a while), as well as a couple coffee filters with kosher salt. I tried the salsa, I could taste the smoke, and I liked it, and my 2 guinea pigs liked it too. 2 hours total of apple smoke, I may end up putting salt in again on next smoke, 2 hours may not be enough(never done salt either). Thanks to all that answered my questions. Just about to vac-seal cheese and begin the waiting game.

The cheese...

Looks good.  Smoke the veggies you use to make the salsa!
