I was running low on cheese so I went to Sams and picked up some of my favorites.
I really like the 3 Alarm pepper cheese so I got two of those. Dublinger,Havarti,Sharp Cheddar are all ones that I have smoked before. Jarlsberg and fresh Mozzarella are a new experience but I have read a lot about them so I figured I would give them a try. I smoked them in two batches, one with apple and the other with Pitmaster choice.
This is the batch that I did in apple, there was another just like it that I did in Pitmaster Choice.
e.
I pulled the mozzarella out after an hour to avoid too much smoke. Everything else was 2 1/2 hours. The mozarella was really good straight out of the smoker so I'm sure it will be even better later.
It was about 80 degrees out today so the ice was a necessity my freezer build is pretty well insulated so the ice kept the inside temp cool enough so the cheese kept its form well. The two liter bottles work Pretty good at keeping the smoker cool.
Everything was set in the fridge to firm up after being smoked and were then vacuumed packed.
My cheese fridge is now full again.
