With the weather quickly warming up, I got a last chance to smoke some cheese before it gets too warm. I pressed the Assassin into use. I smoked Gouda, Havarti, Asiago, Swiss, Colby Jack, white cheddar, and a few weird blends my wife chose.
My Amaze-N pellet maze loaded with alder pellets, grease trap pulled on on the bottom of the cook chamber. The bag for the pellets sat outside since winter and there was a hole in the bag. I microwaved the pellets for about a minute to dry them out:
A small pizza stone over the maze to diffuse the smoke a bit:
Cheese is on. I used colored toothpicks to remember what cheese is what when I vac seal them this evening:
Two hours of smoke and done.....resting in the cool air until I can vac seal them:
They will need 2 to 3 weeks in the fridge to mellow a bit before we dig in. This oughta hold my wife and I for a bit. :-D
