Hello everyone!! Lisa from Colorado.

Welcome to SMF Lisa...Lots of great people Tons of knowledge!!!Hears a trick I heard somewere for smoking cheese but have not tried... First let the cheese set out @ room temp for a bit and form a thin skin. Then in your smoker or large grill, place a piece of your favorite dry smoking wood with 2-3 hot charcoal briquets on top, this will be enough to produce smoke but very little heat. Must keep temp below 100 degrees. For best results try on a cool day or at night this will help maintain cold smoke..Smoke for 3/4 - 1 hour and sample the reward for all your hard work!!! Let us know how it comes out..Apple smoke is one of my favorites for cheese..GOOD LUCK...DB BBQ

thanks DB BBQ for the hint for cheese, but what kind of cheese is usually used and how big a block (or wheel)?

Lisa :)

you can smoke any kind of cheese, but typically a hard type like chedder or even swiss....... to be honest I don't think I'd smoke it for as long as he suggested, typically about 15 minutes is enough, much longer will impart such a strong smoke flavor it may be uneatable......

Welcome to the show Lisa. I live in Denver, but spent 4 yrs in CS. Like it much better than Denver. Good bunch of folks here. Btw, are your brothers CO state troopers? A good friend of mine is married to one down there in the springs. Also, if you're looking for a good butcher, I can highly recommend one out in Aurora. Sam's meats. I can't think of the address but pm me and I'll look it up for you.

Cheers,
KE
