Did You Smell It? Did You Smell It?

[John-Edmonton]

Too dark and cold to detect, so I fired up the smoker and smoked some meat, mozzarella cheese and medium cheddar. I had a nice cold north wind, and figured you guys south of me could smell the delightful aroma of cheese and beef jerky in the smoker, using apple-wood. It's too bad customs won't allow food across the border, as I would like to share this tasty, mouth watering treat with you.


Below are the bricks of cheese and jerky in the dehydrator.

How To Build A Cheese Smoker For Under 10 Bucks

Smoked cheese is very tasty! It must be smoked with cold smoke, and if you use a regular smoker, the cheese will melt. Building a cold smoker can be done for around $10.00. You need to purchase a soldering iron, about 30-45 watts. You can't use a used one, as the lead and flux are poisonous, and will make your cheese taste yucky. You also need an an empty tin can. I used an empty can of beans. using a can-opener, cut the lid about 3/4 around. Punch a hole in the remaining attached portion of the lid next to the rim. Now get your a brand new soldering iron as shown, insert it through the punched hole, then fill the can about 3/4 full of tiny wood chips such as alder, cherry, apple, birch etc. Don't use pine or spruce, as it is too tary. Get a cardboard box, attach a tray of some sort near the top to put the cheese on, set up the smoker can, close the box, plug in the soldering gun, and wait one to two hours. The cheese should have a nice coating on it. Wrap it up tightly, put it in the fridge for at least a week to get the smoke flavor deeper into the cheese. Hope the cheese tastes good! You can also smoke sliced apples, hard boiled eggs, and salt.

I would send you some, but customs won't allow it to cross the border unless it is federally inspected! Go figure.......
