    Smoked Cheese, 10yr evolution, self-built

    I favor the apple wood above all others for my cheese. Only other I might use on rare occasion is pecan. To me, the pecan seems to add a "pepper-like" flavor. Tons of Sam's Club here, but they just recently opened OKC's first Costco. Might have to check em out. Thanks for reading!

    Thanks!! Not sure if I've tried or had access to a non-pasteurized, I'll have to look into it

    That batch looks like it went well! I agree with one of the posters, gloves are a MUST have for any stage of handling cheese to avoid any transfer of bacteria. But especially once it's been in the smoker, the residue left from the smoke will stain your skin and smell it for days😂 Also, that...

    Great thing about the lower moisture cheeses, they are forgiving. I Let em all cure at least 2 weeks before eating/selling. And I've had folks, from the same batch, one say they we're not smokey enough and one say too smokey. I tell them to seal it up, and try it again in a week.

    When I first learned of cold smoking, I was intrigued. My buddy has a big smoker and does brisket, turkey etc, so I wanted to bring something different to the table. Tired of paying inflated prices for fake spray on flavored cheese at the store, I wanted to see if I could do it. I made my first...

    Soldering Iron hits and misses Please Thanks!!

    No need for amnps. Nice idea, but my design is working great and efficient with very little heat entering the box! Also with using the chips I can easily buy a small bag for $3.00 that lasts for at least 4 smokes and change the type of wood without having a bunch of large bags that I have to...
