Outstanding Cheese

[navyfe]

After doing much research and getting as much info as I could - tried the cold smoke for the cheese. WOW - did these turn out great. Did some mild and sharp cheddar and some Colby. Went and bough some small rectangular Weber dip pans from Lowes used 3 charcoal briquettes which I let get a nice ash color, threw on some cherry and apply wood pieces and 1 hour later - FEAST. Temp never got above 97 degrees.

A thank you to everyone for the huge amounts of info. Meatloaf is next.

Never thought about smoking cheese that way. Good idea.

Good deal Navyfe! Smoked cheese is great stuff! Have you ever thoght about making your own cheese?

Now you need to smoke some bologna (baloney where I come from) to go with that cheese. Some good crackers and "something cool to drink", a comfortable chair in a shady spot, and you are set!

The meatloaf will get you hooked! Can't beat a smoked meatloaf!

The meatloaf was GREAT.

Never thought of my making my own cheese Debi...will have to give that a try.

Believe it or not....I need to try a fatty. Have read about them here, and going to give it a try - maybe use some of the smoked cheese

I did baloney a few different ways and it turned out beautifully. Some with mustard and dry rub, some with EVOO and cracked pepper.....wonderful.

Steve -

Next time out try a port wine cheddar, or a block of parmesian great stuff! Better get on the fatty! MAke sure you get several they are great especially the hot ones (which aren't hot - just good)!
