DIRECTIONS

1. turn your Yoder Smoker on, but don’t press start. By doing this, you start the fan but won’t trigger the igniter and the auger won’t start feeding pellets to the firepot. 

2. place cherry pellets (or your pellets of choice) in an A-Maze-N tube smoker and ignite the pellets with a torch.

3. close the lid and allow the pellets to catch and start a slow burn. The fan should be blowing smoke out of the stack.

4. place your cheese blocks on the top shelf of your Yoder and let them smoke for 1-2 hours.

5. after 1-2 hours of smoke, pull the blocks of cheese and vacuum seal them or place them in a ziplock bag.

** be careful about smoking cheese too long. If the smoke flavor is a little overwhelming, allow the cheese to mellow out in the fridge for 7-10 days before slicing.
