Cherry wood smoked Camembert

[bhambrewer]

Cheese: small Aldi Camembert. Wood: cherry. Smoke: cold. Time: around 1h 15m active smoking after I got the smoke going.

Result: delicious. Annoyance that I only did one small Camembert. Decision to make sure I buy a full sized one, or full sized Brie, next time

Interesting, I have been thinking of smoking some Brie. Maybe give it a try when the weather cools down a bit.

Looks good. What's that little smoke generator there? If you smoke brie you might want to keep the smoke time to a hour at the most. It really draws in the smoke. Learned that from doing fresh mozz.

The smoke generator is basically a soldering iron in a metal box. Someone more handy than I could easily make one.

My local restaurant store has a 1kg Brie. Totally buying one this week. Also going to cold smoke some salmon.

Central Alabama, where I live, has cooled down a lot. Max temps are topping out in the low 80s / high 70s so that's why I'm playing with the slow smoker

Thanks. Interesting gadget. Might put one together for my small grill for cold smoking.
