Gouda, Jack, and Cheddar with Tube Smoker

[rubrchickenhead]

I got a mix of my favorite cheese from trader joe's for cold-smoking: double cream gouda, jalapeno jack, and sharp cheddar.

My favorite is the double cream gouda, from Holland.

I loaded the cheese into my kettle with a 12" AMZNPTS and a combination of pit master's choice and oak pellets.

Alder can be good on cheese. It is a great choice for salmon too.

The cheese has aged 3 weeks, so I made a grilled cheese sandwich to test the cheddar. Its good!!!

I think the double cream gouda is still my favorite cheese to smoke. All three turned out really tasty with the mix of oak and pitmaster's choice pellets.
