Hi folks,
New to smoking and loving it. Just finished smoking 3 900g blocks of cheddar. I'm using a Smoke Pistol attached to my BBQ. Not the most efficient setup because of all the smoke I loose especially if it is windy, but it works well with my cheese. Each wood pellet cartridge smokes for just over 2 hrs at the level I set it at.
I have vacuum sealed them and want to freeze 2 of them. I am wondering now if I should refrigerate all of them for a couple weeks then freeze, or freeze right away. Will the smoke flavor go through the cheese just as well frozen?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
