  • About

Cheese sticks come in cheddar, pepper Jack, mozzarella, or various cheese blends. Smoke them just like any other cheese, then wrap them individually in plastic wrap or place them in Ziploc bags as handy snacks for kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

  • 24 cheese sticks (not string cheese)

Method

Prepare the smoker for cold smoking using one of the methods described in the Cold-Smoking Basics section of the Smokeology chapter. Lay the cheese sticks on the grate with about a ½ inch between them to allow the smoke to get to all parts of the cheese. Apply light smoke for one hour, making sure to maintain a smoker temperature of less than 90°F.
