CHEESE IS DONE... PICS BELOW!
I'm planning to smoke some cheese tomorrow since it is likely to get too hot in the coming weeks to pull it off. I stopped off last night and bought 5 half pound blocks (sharp cheddar, habanero, mozerella, colby jack, marble cheddar) and two balls of mozerella. Dang, cheese is expensive! Dropped over $30 on that stuff. Anyhow... it is supposed to be quite chilly here tomorrow morning, but then warm to 70 by mid day. Think I'll pull a few off the kegerator and do some ribs in the afternoon.
If you like cheese but have never smoked any yourself... give it a try. It is a fun/short smoke that doesn't use much fuel, and I have found that it is much tastier than that "smoked" cheese typically found in the store.
Anyhow, I just posted this to get the attention of anyone who might be interested in seeing how my cheese turns out. I'll post some pics here tomorrow, and a little more descriptive write up on the process. It's not too hard, but I can see how it wouldn't be possible down here in a few more weeks.
