Smoke batches and batches of pecans and almonds to give family and friends for gifts. Smoke in your SmokinTex BBQ electric smoker with a handful of your favorite wood. We use cherry wood chips because of its delicate flavor. Smoke at 190°F for 20 minutes then turn off and unplug your smoker and let sit 1 hour. They are outstanding warm or room temp. Enjoy some and give some away.

Arrange cheese on the seafood grill or the non-stick mat.

Place a pan of ice on top of the cold smoke plate on the lowest shelf position.

For a delicate smoke flavor use only a handful of cherry wood chips or any flavor you like. Remember to use only a small amount of wood until you learn your smoke flavor level. 

Turn smoker on to 190°F and smoke for 20 minutes. Use a timer because it is easy to forget a short cooking/smoking time.

Turn OFF smoker and unplug.

Let cheese sit in the smoker for 1 hour.

Take the cheese out of the smoker and let cool.

Wrap and refrigerate.

 

 

Tip: You can also smoke sausage and nuts using this method but with no ice or cold smoke plate.
