Smoking Cheese

[BrianGSDTexoma]

Good day for smoking some cheese and whiskey. Next weekend gonna be chili weather.

Nice assortment



Filled that foil pan with jar of corn & rye whiskey for some smoked BQQ whiskey.



Nice thin blue cherry wood smoke



Wish I would of never seeded this fescue. All ready over due to be mowed!



Planning 4 hour smoke. Into fridge 24 hour than vacuum seal. Looking forward to that ghost pepper cheese.

You have a good plan! I have not tried smoked whiskey, can you elaborate on the flavor, and do you drink it straight or use in a mixed drink? I'm thinking it would be fantastic in a Whiskey Bullshot (I'll put the recipe below). Now, I have smoked water, then strained it through a coffee filter and made ice cubes with it. This is good if you drink whiskey with a rock or two.

Bullshot: basically a Bloody Mary with beef broth instead of tomato juice. So.... vodka, tomato juice, Worcestershire, hot sauce, black pepper, celery salt, etc.
Whiskey Bullshot: substitute whiskey for vodka.

It picks up a mild smoke. I use it mostly for mixed drinks. Really good. I usually mix with coke but taste pretty darn good in root-beer. I will have to try that one.

I am not sure the pellets burned clean. The fridge smelled like bad smoke this morning and the whiskey came out over smoked. I usually use dust in the tray for this but was out and just used pellets in the tube. Gonna have to try that blender trick for dust.

Making dust from pellets...

Mr T told me he makes dust all the time for some of his smoking needs.. He ground the pellets in a food processor or something.. I tried it and it seemed a little tough on the machine.. Pellets are HARD !!!.. So I threw them in warm HOT water.. in about 4 minutes they were falling apart... I...

That how I usually do it. Works well. I forgot that I was out and did not have time. Next time will take time.
