I just could not wait any longer, I needed to get my fix at smoking something.
I had a block of Pepper Jack left over from New Years Eve get together and after reading thru a slew of smoked cheese threads I had to give it a go.
Nothing fancy, cut into thirds.
Grabbed my pellet smoker and some apple pellets and got if fired up.
I did not want to drag the MES40 out of the garage for a cold smoke so I grabbed the old Chief. Figured that it should do for this trail run.
Was not sure how long to smoke it for so I settled on 2 1/2 hours. It seemed like the pellet smoker was putting out a lot more smoke than when I use it in the MES. Maybe this is due to the Chief having more gaps and cracks. I even put some take over the hole in the front door.
So here is the end product, It had nice color, even though the picture doesn't due it justice.
Vac packed it and noted when I can try it! I am going to let it rest for 2 weeks.
