So I’ve been buying cheese on clearance when I can find it for probably the last 6-8 months and vac sealing it to keep it good. Was off work Monday and the temps were around 40 out so I figured it was a great day to get the stash out and give it some smoke.
Got it out if the drawers in my beer fridge and took it inside. This is what I’m working with.
Muenster Swiss Gouda Cheddar White Cheddar Jalapeño Colby and some Cheddar Cheese Cubes
Never done the cubes before but got a 5 lb bag of them for $5 so couldn’t pass it up.
Unwrapped it all and got it ready for the smoke
Used the smoke vault for this one. Really enjoy doing cheese in it. Set the AMNPS right under the water pan so it deflects any heat and don’t get hot spots like I do with the MES.
Rolling apple pellets for 3 1/2 hours
Great day to enjoy some cold ones and smoke some before the rain came in
Pulled it after 3 1/2 hours and let it rest for a couple hours on the counter
Let it rest in the beer fridge for 24 hours
Getting it all ready to vac seal up
Should be good on cheese for a little while anyways and depleted my stash. Hoping to do one more big smoke before it gets too warm. Missed out on the Cabot habanero and always like to do some Colby and Monterey Jack too!
