Time to smoke some cheese

jrod62 · Oct 19, 2012

Went to store and got some beef for the Summer Sausage, Polish kielbasa sausage and Bratwurst sausage I'm making today. Took pork butts out of the freezer few days ago..

Wanted cheese for the kielbasa sausage. Pick up one 8oz sharp cheddar for the sausage.

Then went ahead and pick up 1lbs of sharp cheddar and 1lbs of Marble jack (blend of colby and monterey jack cheese) to be smoked

Got to love the AMNPS. Going to smoke for 2 1/2 hours with hickory pellets.

Al least a month.

I hope. Just got done stuffing 10lbs of Summer Sausage, Just About to start stuffing 10lbs of kielbasa and 5lbs of fresh brats. They will go in the smoker in the morning.

I like to wait a month after smoking the summer sausage before eating it .

Looking good with the cheese. Mine has been resting a month now so I am getting close to the taste...

You're smoker always looks like it just came out of a box. Did you just paint it? Looks very nice.

jrod, evening.... Your summer sausage.... Is it mixed and ground ingredients and smoked to 145 or so.... or do you ferment it in a chamber.... I have had a beef stick that is heavy on garlic that I want to try and reproduce it..... the butcher called it "cotto" or "cottage" salami or something similar..... it was smoked and I don't think it was a real "aged salami" type product... any ideas for a product like that...

The Summer sausage will be smoke until it hit 155 then in ice bath. I would like to try "age salami" but I got lot to learn on it first.
