    Smoked cheese today

    It sounds like you're experimenting with smoking cheese and learning a lot in the process! The white, billowing smoke you mentioned is often referred to as "dirty smoke," which is usually not ideal for meat but may not affect cheese as much. Cheese is more forgiving with smoke, and the balance...

    High heat cheese is a bit soggy

    Your jalapeño/cheddar summer sausage sounds delicious despite the cheese texture issue! The high-heat cheese can definitely get paste-like with prolonged low-temp cooking. A few thoughts: Sous Vide Temp/Time: You might experiment with 145-150°F for 3-4 hours instead. The lower temp/longer time...

    High heat cheese is a bit soggy

    The cheese you're using is likely melting too much due to the lower sous vide temperature and extended cooking time. Try raising the sous vide temperature to 150°F-155°F and reducing the time to 2-3 hours to ensure the sausage cooks through without over-heating the cheese. Also, make sure to...

    Smoked cheese today

    Makes sense. Thanks for the info. As stated above my cheese turned out really good. The relatives and neighbor loved it along with myself. My next plan is to build an actual smoke house. Idk if my funds I saved are gonna allow that as I have a few other projects I need to get done. We will see tho.

    Time is running out - cheese

    In Texas at least there is a limited window for most of us to smoke cheese. Today was my day. I let this batch sit in the smoke for about an hour. Hickory chips with some mesquite pellets tossed in... because I like to play. After smoking I let the blocks sit on the counter for a few...

    Mistakes were made…..

    The only cheese I don't brine before smoking is Mozzarella. Mainly because I've done it, and didn't find it made a diff. @Cattoon Let me know how it turns out for you. Dan.

    Smoking cheese in the Jumbo Joe

    It was a crisp 43° this morning in central Florida and I was ready to smoke some cheese. An 18" kettle doesn't have much room. Halved 3 bricks of cheese. Dang, I could have fit 1 more. Cabot Pepper Jack & Habanero Cheddar Wally world mozzarella Filled the mini with apple pellets...

    This is what heaven must be like.

    This is Arthur Ave in the Bronx. P Pretty much the whole street is old Italian butcher, cheese, bakerys, Italian markets. I'm in an absolute wonderland, the food is what I grew up eating, several times, I've almost come to tears the memories are so powerful. I can't stand NYC, it's a complete...

    Nova Lox for the Woman of My Dreams (WOMD)

    WOMD had never had homemade Lox. This had to be rectified. I started with a nice 850 gram (2 pound) fillet. It can be skin on or off. It doesn't matter. I freeze it in a chest freezer for at least 21 days to kill any parasites. I thawed it and made up my curing salt. For each 700 to 1100 grams...

    Hi from PNW!

    You know I hadn't considered that, although it seems obvious now that I'm reading it. It doesn't scratch the itch for a new toy, but makes much more economic sense!

    St. Louis Ribs on a gray rainy day. Finished and sliced.

    Nice job Brian. Sorry you had a grey day. Beautiful day down here in central FL. We had our monthly potluck day this afternoon. I have the others in awe for my smoking creativity and all I did was smoked mac-n-cheese. We would have tore into those ribs.

    cold smoking cheese

    Was the cheese cold straight from the fridge, or did you let it get close to room temp? Was the smoker in the sun? That may explain the softness. As mentioned, dry it off and I'd let it sit in the fridge for a day then seal. The moisture might make the cheese look blotchy, but will not...

    cold smoking cheese

    Well I was smoking some cheese today (sorry, I can not seem to get photos to download). It seems to be sweating a lot. Is that oil from the cheese or something else?? The last few times, I never noticed it. Or is something else happening? Should I be worried? It looks good although sweaty and a...

    Cold Smoking vs Hot Smoking vs Smoking

    "Cold" or "hot" smoking are purely relative terms. You might have a bottom threshold for the amount of heat, if you are smoking *and* cooking something, or you might have an upper limit, if what you are smoking might melt (cheese) or burn (sugar glaze), or there might be concerns about microbial...
