Today's experiment: cold smoking some cheese.

How did it turn out and what's your setup?
They look good, but I have to let them sit for two weeks before I can try them.

The setup was an empty soup can with some holes punched in the bottom. I put in a single piece of lit charcoal and a bunch of wood chips. The temperature got a little high, so I had to put a piece of aluminum foil over the top of can. I poked a hole in it with a screwdriver, and it held a pretty steady 64 degrees. Next time, I'll put a tray of ice under the cheese.

I've thought about making a cold smoke box, but eh, effort...

Are those aftermarket racks in your smoker? They look dope as poo poo, want some for my Weber.

Its' all standard on the master touch, but you can buy the hinged GBS rack separately.

I don't think the Weber warming rack is available separately, but you can make your own or buy an off-brand.

edit: or pay out the rear end on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Weber-8417-Warming-Rack/dp/B0012CH37I/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1486260080&sr=8-11&keywords=warming+rack+weber

yo yo yo what the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck are you telling me you used a metal tin and a little bit of charcoal to make your hot smoker into a cold smoker??????

Yes. Kettle grills are loving awesome. On the opposite end of the spectrum, I can get it to 900+ degrees with my PizzaQue.

i figured if i have the waterbowl part full that'll be a big enough heat reservoir that it won't get too hot in there

Fill it with ice.

oh yeah. worth a shot. how long do you smoke it for and why is it you rest it for two weeks?

I did mine for about 2.5 hours. This is my first time smoking cheese, so I have no idea how it's going to turn out.:shrug:

The cheese was way too strong fresh out to the smoker. Letting it chill in the fridge for a few weeks helps it absorb the flavor. Or something like that. The Weber Kettle club has a pretty good write up about smoking cheese.

Post some bread advice man, I have never done it and have always wanted to.

Bread machines are easy mode, and they make some pretty good bread. I got one as a gift, and I love it.
