Smoke Flavoring
Introduce family and friends to a new flavor treat—try smoking cheese, nuts and eggs.
This should be done at a low degree of heat—the best time to do smoke flavoring is after
you have smoke-cooked something and the coals have burned down and are producing a
low heat.
NUTS
Any kind of nuts or seeds can be smoke flavored for a tasty snack. Place nuts in a single
layer, on a wire screen, on top of the cooking grill. Place 3-4 wet chunks of wood on top
of coals. Smoke for 45-60 minutes. (Do not use water in water pan.)
CHEESE
Any mild-flavored cheese may be given a smoke flavor; try Colby, Monterey Jack or
Muenster. Make a shallow tray of extra-heavy duty aluminum foil or use a shallow foil
pan. Place cheese in tray and position on the cooking grill. Place 3-4 chunks of wet wood
on top of the coals. Smoke about 1 hour. Make sure the fire is not too hot, watch carefully
so the cheese doesn’t melt. (Do not use water in the water pan.)
EGGS
Chilled, peeled hard-cooked eggs. Arrange eggs on the cooking grill. Place 3-4 chunks
of wet wood on top of the coals. Smoke 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove
eggs from smoker and serve immediately or wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate. Great
for deviled eggs!
NOTE: We used hickory or apple wood for smoke flavoring and soaked it in water for
45-60 minutes before using. Experiment—perhaps you will find a different type of
hardwood you like better.
