Smoked Chex Mix

[cpaysonc]

Just smoked a batch of Chex Mix for Sunday's Festivities. I don't remotely care about football but it's a good excuse to eat a variety of apps all day. Jerky on the cold smoker as we speak. Wings hitting the Weber w/ Spider Venom temp controller tomorrow, along with bacon wrapped kielbasa.

Sounds good! What time? Try smoked cheez-its if you have never done them.

About three hours, frequently stirring at roughly 225. Cheez Its were actually part of the mix! Good eatin!

My wife's recipe for mix is pretty good without smoking.

Any ideas of what to put in a homemade chex mix?

Prob a little late here, but for future.

Everyones Chex mix is different, mine is one cup each:
Corn Chex
Rice Chex
Cheese Goldfish
Pretzel Coldfish
Club Mini Crackers
Cheez-it Duoz Jalapeno & Chedder Jack
Mixed Nuts
Mix well in foil smoker pan.

For mild, drizzle melted
1/2 stick of butter with
1/2 Tbl spoon Jeff's Original rub
2Tbl spoons Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbl spoon Tabasco mixed in.

Up the Rub amount and reduce Worcestershire and up the Tabasco amount for more spice and heat.

Pour it on and stir till everything is coated well. Pecan smoke for mild, Hickory for a bolder taste.

I smoke at 225, stir about every 10 min till back crunchy. Mini Clubs will be last to dry. Usually takes 4-6 times depending on outdoor humidity.

Adjust to what fits your taste buds or what you might have on hand and enjoy,

Much obliged!

Much obliged!

No problem at all!

I decided to give this a go for the first time after seeing a bunch of posts on here about it. I'd like to smoke it, but we're still rather chilly up here in Canada and I have to have the back door open a crack so I can plug my Bradley in.

I know I had seen someone else mention using a touch of fat from homemade bacon, but I can't seem to locate it at the moment.

Our overall takeaway was that it was delicious although a wee bit smoke heavy. The pretzels really sucked up the smoke.

I wasn't able to smoke mine, but our overall takeaway was that the recipe I used was too butter heavy. Glad I only made 1/4 of the recipe to try it. I'll have to circle back and see if I can figure out a recipe that the family enjoys.

That looks amazing, I need to try smoked chex mix, I have had it from others, but never made it....adding it to the list to give it a shot.

We made a bunch, I think it was roughly 11 or 12 cups, far more than I wanted to make but you have to buy so many boxed ingredient components, I figured why not. Storing the bulk in ball jars hit a food safe dessicant and sealing with a vac sealer, figure it'll keep a while! I am pleased to say what I initially considered to be a bit of excessive smoke seems to be mellowing quite a bit.
