I have my cheese smoking process pretty dumbed down. I use my pellet grill as a smoke container. I then fill a smoke tube with pellets and use that for my smoke. I did lose a batch one time. It was warm outside. My cheese melted halfway through the grating. I only smoke when it is below 45 degrees. I vacuum seal the cheese and let it set for a month. Top shelf snacking.

I have success with my big chief with the door propped halfway open. I only do it when its cold out. Low tech, but it works , and my coworkers love it.

If you brush the cheese with maple syrup before smoking the cheese gets darker brown and doesn’t compromise the flavor at all 👍

to make a cold smoker you make a tunnel to your smoke box and adjust where the heat goes closer for hotter and further away for cooler, i grew up smoking fish (3 or 4 fish boxes full) every weekend, no fancy price tag just sheets of roofing iron and some poles, some square mesh with different length hooks for different levels

It is currently 16° here in Salt Lake City Utah and I just started cold smoking my cheese 10 minutes so your video is quite timely! I wish I had seen this before going to the store because your bleu cheese on a steak does sound amazing. I use a tube (cost $17) in my pellet and I’m applewood smoking cheddar, Muenster, mozzarella, pepper Jack and Colby. (Yes, it’s the cheap block stuff from a grocery store). But yeah, this stuff is amazing and will be ready for the Super Bowl!

I was thinking about smoking cheese in my unplugged big chief with a smoke tube smoldering some pellets. Might have to wait for another cold snap. It's been beautiful here in the couv.

Interesting about smoking chocolate bar. I've used the maze-type smoker with pellets. It works great for cheese. I also used it to smoke paprika. It can be done on an ordinary grill or in a dedicated smoker.

Blue cheese mixed with butter on a hot steak 🤤

Hahaha.. love the humor, good sir... =) And, as far as the blue cheese goes, I LOVE blue cheese.!.!.! Dressings, as well as "brick" cheese.. Great stuff, Mr. Anderson.!.!.!.! Not a fan of dark chocolate though, sorry... Hehe

Saw you over on Eli’s eel eyes and The Covid Kid great youtube channel

I wonder if smoking some mozzarella would be good on pizza.... Yum

Interesting to see how the blue cheese turned out. I imagine being salty it tastes like smoked bacon a bit. I like your experimentational side !

Hi

Looks like you used rocks for weights. Maybe next episode could be "Smoked Rock Soup"!
