Ok, round two. String Cheese. Hope it turns out good as this is a first for me.

If you have a wife and kids it won’t last long

It's the neighbors that I'm worried about!

I Love smoked cheeses!
Hope yours comes out great!

Trouble round here is, nobody else does.
I smoked up a 5 pound block, cut into smaller pieces.
Came out good, but I'm up to my ears now... LOL! :D

Wow I have smoked cheese for awhile now, never thought to do mozzarella sticks! How long do you typically smoke something that small?

I did 4 hours. The cheese took on a nice light golden brown hue. The temp was 65 degrees in the chamber. It will be ready in a couple weeks!

Ok, having been sampling some. It is very good. But I think it will improve with age. The smoke flavor is a bit strong (I like that!), and it has just a hint of off flavor. In time that should mellow out.

I couldn't resist, my daughter and I made some this weekend too.

What kind of wood did you use? What was the temp in your smoker? How long? Good luck!

I used leftover Hickory from smoking some bbb, using the amazin pellet smoker maze thing. I think I did it around 4 hours like you suggested. Temp never got noticeably hot enough to even bother looking at the temp gauge.

I Love Smoked Cheese, especially Moz String Cheese.
However I haven't done any in a long time, because cheese is so expensive at my stores.
I can often get "Choice" Prime Rib for less $$ than Cheese.

String cheese is one cheese that I haven't gotten right. Both times I've tried, it seems to come out kinda rubbery, and I give to the guys at work. Who would probably eat smoked dog poo if I put it on a plate at work and said have at it.
