What brand of cheese that looks awesome
It's Walmart Great Value brand sharp cheddar that I smoked with applewood pellets last January.
I have so many more questions now haha, and pics of the smoking process?
Go to Amazon, get a smoke tube and bag of applewood pellets. Wait for the temps to drop into the 50s. Grab a grill or cardboard box and open the holes to let oxygen in. Place the cheese blocks and pack the pellets in the smoke tube.
Light the pellets and let them burn for 5 minutes. Blow it out and let it smolder. Put the lid or box down to cover everything. Let it smoke for two to four hours.
Use some sanitized tongs to place the blocks in vacuum seal bags, seal, ignore for two weeks. Smoke enough to get you through the next year.
It's that simple. I see you dropping thousands of dollars but this is not rocket science. It's cheap and easy.
Bro thanks for writing that up. I'll give this a crack some day.
It is one of the single best stupid kitchen hacks that costs almost nothing. It keeps for years but you will never give it the chance. Cheese trays, grilled cheese, Mac and cheese, cheese grits, baked pastas, and so many other options.
And you can cold smoke other things too. Butter, Chex mix, salt, nuts, etc.
What about corn
What people do with corn is their own business. Personally I would hot smoke corn and eat right then. Cold smoking is for things you will be saving for later. Hot smoking is for right now.
