Smoked Cheese | How To Cold Smoke Cheese
There is something I look forward to every year when the temps start to drop... and that is cold smoking cheese.
Because we live in the south, we have limited times we can cold smoke cheese down here because if it's warm outside - your cheese can melt.
Cold smoking cheese is really, really easy. The only thing you've got to do is be able to produce a nice, light smoke without melting your cheese.
You can cold smoke cheese in pretty much any smoker or grill. And you can use a few coals or wood chips for your smoke... but with this cheese I used a new product called the A-Maze-N-Tube. It allows me to have a nice, slow smoke without generating much heat.
But a word to the wise... the smoke you are producing in your smoker for your cheese does still carry some heat - and it doesn't matter if you are using a smoke tube or charcoal... So you have to watch it closely.
It's always a good idea to divert that heat the smoke produces by using some type of shield. You can use a deflector plate, foil or you can get a metal pan and fill it with ice.
Once you get the smoke rolling, all you need to do is place your room-temp cheese on the smoker and let it hang out in the smokey environment for 3 - 4 hours.
Now comes the hard part... To get the most flavor from your smoked cheese, you need to wrap it in plastic wrap and place it in your fridge for 7 days. This will get you the most evenly distributed and most amazing smoke flavor in your cold smoked cheese.
But once the 7 days is up, it's on! And there is nothing like smoked cheese you've done yourself at home.

    I smoke a lot of cheese as well, a lot of people are unaware of the mellowing process of a week or more. Personally I smoke it 5 hours with hickory, vacu-seal it for 3 weeks, then you have the cheese of the gods! Great channel man, cheers!

    @datrumpet5 if it's a soft cheese like a Colby I'll smoke it 45min.-1hr. A harder white cheddar 60-90 minutes. I used to smoke them for 2.5 hours but found that a shorter smoke time is adequate. It's smoky but the original flavor of the cheese is still there.

    Man!!!! This made me a hero with my wife. I followed this on my Weber Gold. You are right about keeping the temp low. I did this on a really cold day here in Georgia. That would be anything below 45 degrees. Smoked for about 3 to 4 hours with a mix of Apple and Hickory wood. Used 4 bricks of charcoal to start and a block of Apple and Hickory. Had to keep a close eye on it to make sure the heat stayed low and didn't go out. Thanks for this one.

    If you want to reduce the heat, add a tray of ice cubes, in the smoker box as well. The heat from the pellets burning will hit the ice before the cheese, dropping the over all temp inside. Then you can refreeze the water and you will have smoked ice for your drinks

    @@RipRLeeErmey every set up could be different but lets use brother Malcolm's set up for simplicity. After he placed the heat deflector in, he could have placed a tray / bowl / tinfoil pan, any container to be able to absorb the small amount of heat and quickly pass it to the ice cubes the tray itself is holding. This will reduce the heat from the smoke tube getting to the cheese itself reducing the amount it sweats. Like he said. The colder the better when smoking cheese. Only way the water from the melting cubes will pour out, is if u have a heaping pile of ice and small container. Online will have a few pictures if you wished to search for them. Hope this helps

I did Gouda, medium cheddar, and pepper jack with apple pellets in a tube for about 4 hours. It was about 35F outside so no worry about melting.

About 1-1 1/2 hours with any milder pellets or chips and its ready to eat. Any more time than that and it needs that resting period or its kind of bitter. Love the video and all your others as well. Have learned a lot here! BTW, I use no heat in the Little Chief.

At one point the smoking stick caught fire, but I blew it out so it just smoked. Didnt have a grease fire. Trying to troubleshoot what went wrong. I have used the same traeger gourmet mix pellets and smoked a duck and some beef using the pellet smoker, but something went wrong in the side box with the stick.
