10 Pounds Cheddar in the Smoker

[bill ace 350]

5 pounds of Cabot Seriously Sharp and 5 pounds Cabot Extra Sharp in the smoker.

All three rows of the tray filled with 50/50 mix of hickory and apple.

Pulled from smoker, temps dropping quickly. Will rest in fridge tonight, give them a little more smoke tomorrow. Picking up a little color though.

I lived in Vermont when a kid, and the Cabot quickly became one of my favorite cheeses from anywhere in the world. I'm not familiar with Seriously Sharp - they did not have that version back in the day. Looks like you're working on a perfect batch

i'm not sure if Seriously Sharp is sharper than Extra Sharp..... I carved an "x" in each block of extra sharp.... Will conduct an appropriate "sharpness" test!

Looks good and should be ready for X-mas

Looks like a full smoker of cheese you got going. If you get a chance you should try their pepper jack or horseradish cheese. I tried the seriously sharp once and it was good - just a little more crumbly in texture.

Thanks everyone.

Had to change plans, couldn't put it back in smoker today, snowing too hard....

If we get some decent weather the next few days, I try again.
