Some more smoked cheese
« on: October 11, 2011, 12:12:27 AM »
Have some 2 year aged Irish white cheddar, Dublinger, Gouda, pepper jack, mozzarella, monterey jack and medium cheddar.  Should go well with the fish I'll be posting tomorrow.

Ever made any that is TOO smokey?  What chips are you using most of the time, and which do you like the best?

Too smokey, yes.  But the longer you keep sealed in the fridge, the more it mellows out.  I think hickory is too strong for white cheeses so this batch was all maple.

The moisture is normal, more noticeable on the cheddar. Just wipe it off before you seal it up.

Hot damned guys, I just looked into this A-MAZE-N smoker and I got one on order now (never even heard of them before).  That looks like my solution for cold smoking.  I have never been able to do that with my electric burner in my smoker.  This could be a new revolution in smoking for me.  I'm pumped. 

Cheese looks great Mossy.  Mmm, smoked Gouda here I come.

Mossy,

How long do you smoke the cheese for?  And do you smoke all cheese varieties for the same length of time?

That's something you have to play with...depends on your taste too.  Most people go 2 hours.

I was wondering how well those maze type smoke tray worked.  I talked to a buddy the other day about fabricating a Ventura type cold smoker.  Those tray types look a lot more simple.
I did 25 pounds of medium and sharp Tillimook a couple of weekends ago with alder smoke.  Turned out awesome!

The pellet smoker trays are the only way to go. Easiest and most consistant I have tried.

They don't really work with the maze types.  U gotta use the dust that the company offers, or pellets.

I use the Little Chief Alder chips (the finer stuff).  What pellets do you prefer?  I might just have to make up a couple of those trays and try em' out before going through fabricating a Ventura.

I don't use the pellets, they were never proved to work when I bought my unit so I don't have the answer....but I just broke open some dublin aged white cheddar and it's way better IMO with the maple than hickory.

YUM!  I got a Bradley smoker for my birthday a year and a half ago and I smoke cheese regularly.  I just took the smoke generator off, fit it to a box, plumbed up some flexible ducting, and viola'!  Cold smoker!  It works great! 

Usually a couple hours is what I do for my cheese.  I just picked up a box of whiskey oak wood pucks.  Anyone have a suggestion on what cheese to smoke with it?  Cheddar is on the list.

Bought this at Cash-n-Carry for about $5. Turn it over and punch down the bottom. Smokes for about 2-2.5 hours.
