melting cheese in smoker good or bad idea?
I am going to make some stuffed peppers today and top them with melted cheese but I noticed in the cheese forum that they said never eat cheese fresh out of the smoke because it will be bitter. so is it ok to melt some cheese on my peppers in the smoker? or is it best left to the oven?- chefscott
