Smoking with the "Griz" aka hawgrider. (Cheese)

[hawgrider]

This is my first ever batch of cheese smoked with hickory.

It turned out ok but after much cheese smoking cherry pellets is perfect for cheese. Apple is good too but cherry is my choice.

Smoked using my old refrigerator smoker using the cold smoking smoke tube method with pellets.

This is what happens when you push the 80 degree mark when smoking cheese. Oil surfaces and if you don't catch it soon enough it will ruin the texture of the cheese. I caught this just in time.

Keep it under 80 keep it under 75 is even better.

Hmm... all that is pretty crafty.
Smoky salt I could do with my Brinkmann maybe?
Nice work!

The smoked Himalayan salt is really good I highly recommend trying some.

That Mac n cheese really looks good.

That Mac n cheese really looks good.

It worked out great in the cast iron pan. Had just a little crunch to it.

So about how long was the Mac in the smoker? It's like when you finish in an oven. Could put buttered crumbs on top too.

Can't remember exactly but it was around 3 hours or so?

Maybe 4
