Great Day To Get The Cheese On

[thirdeye]

Last week we got a cold snap so I did 5# of cheddar and pepper jack, and as of yesterday I had given all but 3 sticks of it away  ... So, today it's in the high 30's and I'm doing another batch, but this time I plan on keeping at least 6 sticks for us!!  Later I'll put on a few sticks of butter just because.

What is the favorite wood for smoming cheese.   Weather is getting to the point where I could break out the tube and some pellets and have at it.

I use a sawdust tray so the amount of smoke is really gentle, so gentle in fact I can go with stronger wood, this batch was hickory.

It looks about the same.  The cheddar picks up a little color and the pepper flecks in the pepper jack are a little darker.
