Directions
- Turn on the Yoder Smokers YS640s Pellet Grill, but do not press the start button. This will allow the fans to run, without starting a fire or creating any heat.
- Place your cheeses on a FrogMat on the second shelf of the grill. Spread the cheeses out to allow for smoke to circulate all the way around each cheese.
- Fill an A-Maze-N Tube Smoker with BBQr’s Delight 100% Apple Wood Pellets. Lay the tube on the main cooking grate, on the left sided of the grill. Light the end of the tube of pellets with a propane torch. Let the flame build until the pellets are well lit. Blow the flame out and allow the pellets to slowly burn.
- Close the lid of the grill. Let the cheeses smoke for 2-3 hours.
- Remove the cheese from the grill. Place them in vacuum sealed bags, or wrap tightly in plastic wrap and place in a zip-top bag.
- Let the cold smoked cheese mellow out in the refrigerator for 5-7 days before serving.
