1 st Cold Smoked Cheese In Smokin-It #1

[Norwester55]

Smoked for 3 hrs with pecan dust. I think the darkish end on 1 of the pepper jacks was right above the AMNPS tray. I had a piece of cheddar on another tray do the same thing next tray up. It tastes good though! I know it'll be better in a week, that is if there's any left. :)
I had the dust tray setting on the burner, I'll set it on the floor of the smoker next batch, and if I have to, rig up a deflector.

Pecan? Now that's an interesting choice!

Is that a fairly mild smoke?

Its related to hickory but its quite a bit milder and sweeter. A bit stronger than apple IMO. I hadn't used it much because of availability here but I just discovered Walmart has chunks for $6 an 8 lb bag. I got the pellets from A-maze-N and I'll probably order a 4 lb bag of dust since I can't find pellets here locally. Its rapidly become my favorite wood. The pork ribs I did with it the other night were excellent!

I have used Pecan on pork,chicken,turkey, fish, and cheese. Not a fan so much on beef

That was my thought. It'll probably be my go to on everything except beef and salmon.

It is good!
