Fractured Fitness Sounds like you are well on your way to perfecting your system, if there is such a thing for jerky and sausage making. I think I have something figured out and then I read something new on this sight or get a suggestion from a friend and it’s back to the drawing board to try something new, but that is the fun of homemade product, you can always improve or modify to suit your desires!
Cold smoked cheese
-
I cold smoked some sharp cheddar cheese A week ago using apple wood. It was my first time smoking cheese came out good. I have been cutting up my cheese in small piece then storing in freezer to use in my summer sausage. This has worked out well the cheese stays whole does not melt out. Has anyone ever added smoked cheese to A snack stick or summer sausage if you did how did it turn out?

shoprat53 Walton’s has high temp cheese that you can add to your mix near the end before stuffing. It adds another level of flavor and visual appeal to the finished product. Many regular cheese’s have a lower melting point than the cooked point of the finished sausage leaving you a messy finished product. I haven’t tried smoking the high temp cheese, but that might be an option.

shoprat53 Yup, we have cold smoked our high-temp cheese in the past and then added it to sausage. Since we smoke the meat anyway it doesn’t really shine through but still fun to do!

Cheese is my 2nd favorite food group after meat

Since it’s overcast today, not too hot and the last of my cheeses were consumed over the weekend, I’m smoking 5 diff cheeses. Mozz, Swiss, Asiago, Pepper Jack and Sharp Cheddar. Yes, it’s over an iced filled aluminum tray.

zbigjeff I am looking to smoke some cheese this fall, the tray of ice is a good idea.
-
zbigjeff never thought about an ice tray but in Vegas you got to wait till winter. An ice tray would end up being a steam bath.

bocephus It did it’s job today for sure. Got that idea from people on this site.

Denny O It would be nice to have a bunch more space. Thus, do a little at a time.

Denny O No harm at all. I learned as a consultant that one has to Adjust, Compensate and Overcome. It’s what one does when purposefully downsizing. Yes, it’s more challenging. But, that’s why one has buds that want to learn and use their larger units when needed.

zbigjeff I have been on the other side of your coin as far as downsizing Jeff. I was tired of trying to smoke a couple of racks of ribs and do a real smoke on my Weber 22". Then found a small cabinet propane smoker that allowed me to really smoke and over time got frustrated with having to cut everything in 1/2 so that is where I landed with a large full width cabinet smoker.

Denny O Love the people on this site because they are both confident in their abilities and are real. Btw: my downsizing had nothing to do with Financials, just not wanting to do yard work when I was working and doing much travel.
