Today I did it. Put some cheese in the BBQ and cold smoked it. The weather was cold enough so what the heck. This is the first batch of smoked goods I have ever done. The cheeses are wrapped and resting in the fridge. I have the chicken on the grill to cook through now. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ~Ann ![]() | ||

Ann, I cold smoke Oregon Tillamook medium and sharp cheddar and their pepper jack cheese. I have been using a smoke tube full of hickory Traeger pellets, but have been advised apple is the wood/pellet of choice. I have found the cheese harsh until it has aged at least a couple of weeks in the fridge -- and a month is better. Hope yours comes out delicious. I had not thought of cream chesse. YUM! I won't take a sermon longer than 10 minutes. | |||

Here's how the chicken came out after roasting. The maple flavor was excellent! ![]() I had some for dinner and now the rest is going in the soup pot. ~Ann ![]() | |||

Hi Bill, Yes, I had some smoked cream cheese recently and knew I had to try this. I will let it go a month then. I knew the cheese needed to rest awhile. I was thinking ten days. I chose maple for this run because it is a sweeter flavor that might blend well with cheeses. I will buy some more pellets with different flavors. I will put apple wood on the list. I did not brine the chicken. Did not put anything at all on it just to see what the smoke did. Not disappointed at all. Next will be some salmon. ~Ann ![]() | |||

Ann, mine is similar, just round. You might be able to get by with waiting just 10 days with the maple. I just mailed out smoked cheese to friends and family today and had to open a cube to test it. Smoked and then vacuum-sealed it on November 7 and today it was absolutely incredible -- nice and smooth. That chicken looks fabulous! I won't take a sermon longer than 10 minutes. | |||

Bill, when you mail out cheese do you put cold packs in with it? Also, I never see Tillamook available here in flyover country. I feel lucky to find Vermont Cabot though! ~Ann ![]() | |||

Ann and Bill, good info on cold smoking, thanks. Smoked chicken bones make a nice soup stock and the smoked chicken meat goes well in enchiladas. | |||

Ann, if you have an Albertson's, try there for Tillamook. Both Albertson's and Walmart carry it here in Alamogordo. I do not cold-pack the smoked cheese, counting on the vacuum packing to keep it wholesome. Never had an issue so far. Saeed, that's awesome that you can get it in Dubai! I won't take a sermon longer than 10 minutes. | |||

Good to know, Bill, for shipping cheese. I will vacuum seal if I do gift any that way. I'd probably have to travel to a big metro city to find a store carrying Tillamook. For now I avoid them due to mask mandates and numbers of covid infested people not staying home. ~Ann ![]() | |||

Anything Tillamook is outstanding-Cheese, Ice Cream. . . .YUM! My favorites! My other personal favorite is Cache Valley cheese and ice cream, etc. out of Logan and Beaver, Utah. I love to visit their creamery and cheese factory in Beaver right off of I-15 on my drive from Las Vegas up to Northern Utah. All fresh! They also have the BEST cheese curds in all kinds of flavors-to die for! | |||
