    Smoked Velveeta!

    Just a tidbit of info on American Slices: Since 1949, the US government has forbidden the sale of cheeses made from unpasteurized milk unless the cheese has been aged at least 60 days. In 1999, the Food and Drug Administration considered banning the sale of all raw-milk cheeses no matter how...

    Smoked Velveeta!

    I have been cold smoking Velveeta for quite sometime now and boy, is it ever great. I don't used hickory, I use Alder and when out use Apple. Both of these woods were terrific. Tried Mesquite once and only once, never again on cheese of any kind. Gouda cheese is also on the top of my list of...

    Old Mini Fridge, BBQ Stand, PC Tower plus AMNPS egual COLD SMOKING

    This smoker's top temperature has been running around 77 degrees, and that is ok even when smoking cheese.  I did see a higher temperature when any or both fans are running due to drawing in more outside air.  I am not running the fans any more, I just let the air move from the lower unit up...

    Old Mini Fridge, BBQ Stand, PC Tower plus AMNPS egual COLD SMOKING

    "I could not believe the results", is the correct statement. I do apologize for not re-reading my post. I thought I needed those fans to move the air/smoke from where the wood pellets or wood chips smoking through ducts to the cook chamber. Seen some pictures where they used dryer vent duct...

    Old Mini Fridge, BBQ Stand, PC Tower plus AMNPS egual COLD SMOKING

    Once I had installed and wired in the two PC fans, I did a test with just one fan turned on, the one in the PC.  It moved the smoke well and not as fast as one might think.  Then I tried just the PC fan in the mini-fridge and basically had the same results. Now turned on both of the PC fans...

    Cold smoking in a lined drum?

    Really got to be careful when cold smoking and it's surrounding materials used to be a smoker unit. I used to have a cold smoker made from 3 U-Hual moving boxes and the inside was lined with aluminum foil. I had my  A-maze-n Pellet Smoker (AMNPS) setting on top of a wire basket with a metal tray...

    ZipLoc Freezer Bags & Water Displacement Methods vs $Chamber Vacuum Sealers$

    I too tried the straw method by using a coffee stirring stick. the stick was actually a small diameter straw. It worked well, but even pulling out the straw and closing the seal lock one still has some air, not much. By using the vacuum pump and a little oil in the bag I could remove a lot of...

    Ziploc Freezer Bags & "Water Displacement Method" While a chambered vacuum sealer is the best way, they are several hundred dollars and overkill for many home kitchens. Many people turn to FoodSaver-type sealers, which can be convenient but they are expensive to buy bags for. These Ziploc...

    Smokin' Cheese Weekend

    Would be interested in knowing where those trays you have under the cheese were obtained?? Just what I have been looking for.  I have been using a grease splatter screen that one would use when frying in hot grease on the stove.
