Smoked Brie

[Lonzinomaker]

I had the urge to try and smoke some brie last week . Went to Costco and got 7 rounds of Kirkland French Brie. I did a trial of a single brie last week and all my taste testers really loved it.
Put them in my Big Chief smoker with mailbox mod, put in 3/4 apple and 1/4 cherry pellets in the tray.
And then smoked them for 2 hours, let them sit on counter and come to room temp for 2 hours before vacuum sealing them.
The picture doesn't do the color justice, they are a nice light tan color. Going to make family and friends happy at Christmas.

Very nice! At what temperature did you smoke?

It was 50 deg outside and with the mailbox, the smoker only got up to 52 deg.

Thanks. Knew it was low, wasn't sure how low. I'm hard pressed to keep the WSM below 80F on a cold day, and that's using a ring cut from a 1 lb coffee can to contain just 3 or 4 briquettes and a small chunk of smoke wood.

Great idea!
We love Brie, but I have never thought of smoking it!
I guess because we eat it as soon as we get it home.
Gonna give it a try!

Try an a-maz-n tray or pellet tube. Will turn your WSM into a cold smoker. I use mine in Weber gasser or kettle. Will work in anything.

Brie is the bomb. Before smoking, I like to add a mix of roasted garlic, onions, peppers & herbs on top. I've done cranberry based toppings for the holiday table.
