Well we were getting low on some smoked cheese and after a week long rat race to get end of the year stuff taken care of it was also time to relax and cross a couple things off the need to try list! The nice thing about Iowa in January...perfect cheese smoking weather!
Our new cheese cutting board is just too cool!
Not a wide variety but needed more cheddar and mozzarella smoked, and added some Muenster cheese as well. Also heard how good Kerry gold butter is smoked so... why not?
To go along in the smoke... a tray of paprika.
Temps ran about 72 degrees F and would drop to about 56 when I opened door to stir paprika every 30 minutes. Nice tbs coming out
Used apple in amnps and about 4 1/2 hours smoke time. Let rest in fridge overnight... dang did it smell good!
Of course with all the smoked cream cheese going on it was time to give it a go also. Did two blocks, used two new rubs my friend Keith
912smoker
sent to us.
Haven't had them very long but they are both great! The steak seasoning is prolly 1/4 gone already.
This turned out amazing! And was really good with some pepper jelly on a cracker
Of course being new years weekend I had to have snacks while waiting on the smoker...so ground round on saltiness with onion, salt and pepper
And last but not least ...

recipe for smoked trail mix! After he forcefully made me watch this video over and over...JK! But saw it and had to make it.
Added 1 tbsp of cholula hot sauce. Jeff's recipe said 2 to 4 tbsp but had never tried it before so went light. And the finished pic
It turned out really good! Thanks Jeff!
I feel a little bad cuz I never watched the peach dump cake video, so can't make it. I think it was

that mentioned he could make it with his eyes closed . Best I could do was I peach booze (peach dump cake for the chewing impaired)! These lovely marinated peaches you could dump down your throat. But highly suggest no driving after consuming!
Thanks for looking!
