Ingredients

1 block or round of homemade cheese

Instructions

Use a commercially available smoker, slightly modified, to cold-smoke cheese.

Put a couple of wooden braces across the top of my top loading smoker, and put the grill bracket on top of that so the drip pan is a few inches above the top of the smoker. You can just use the box the unit came in, placed upside down over the top of the grill bracket.

Smoke the cheese for about an hour and a half. One thing is important: let the cheese sit out in the open air for about twenty minutes before you wrap it- this lets it harden a little and it will tend to last longer in storage

Stove Top Smokers
If you really like the flavor of smoked cheeses you may want to invest in a small smoker.

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.
