The ingredients for this cold
smoke are as follows: 1 lb.
Pecans
2 lbs. Deli pan roasted turkey
1 package of Mozzarella Sting
cheese
1 Package of Gouda cheese slices
Step 1:
Prepare the ingredients.
Place the pecans on a plate or
pie tin. Divide the deli turkey
into two equal portions and
place them on individual plates
or pie tins. Unwrap the string
cheese and place them on a
smoking rack. Do the same with
the Gouda slices. If your using
blocks of cheese I highly
recommend you cut them into2"
thick cubes or rectangles. This
will allow smoke to penetrate
more surface. This is a great
way to control how much smoke
flavor you get into your cheese.
I also recommend using a multi
tier rack that will fit in your
grill or smoker. This type of
rack allows you to fully utilize
the space within your grill or
smoker.
Step 2:
Add 3 cups of Hickory sawdust
or flavor of choice to the cold
smoke generator. Make sure the
fuel is about 1/8" from the top
of the sides. Tap the
A-MAZE-N-SMOKER on a table or
surface to help settle the
sawdust. Using a Butane mini
torch, ignite one or both ends
of the saw dust. It will burn
towards the center. I have found
I like to light both ends and
the center. I get about a 3 hour
burn and allot of smoke flavor
for a 3 hour smoke. Note there
is no bitter after taste. just
as nice hickory smoke flavor. I
have found that 3 hours is
plenty and will keep your cheese
moist as it should be.
Step 3:
Place your Turkey, cheese and
nuts into your grill or smoker.
Do not heat up your smoker or
use any other device that may
generate heat within the chamber
other then the cold smoke
generator. Your grill and or
smoker should be off. Place in
the A-MAZE-N-SMOKER in the
corner farthest from your exit
vent. Fully open your air vents.
Close the hood and make sure to
return a couple time to turn the
nuts and turkey.
If your smoking thin sliced
cheese like the Gouda seen in
the pictures to the right, it
will only require about 1 1/2
hours of smoke. Remove the thin
slice cheeses half way through
the smoking process so they so
not get too strong of a flavor.
That's it! 3hours later you
have some delicious Hickory
smoked Deli turkey, cheese and
nuts. |
