What’s on the grill/smoker today? 2021

I'm going to smoke some cream cheese today and I have a question. I smoked some with apple pellets and wasn't crazy about the sweet taste. It could have been the rub I used but I think the sweet apple smoke is what I didn't care for. Today, I will smoke with hickory pellets and a savory rub.

What wood do you guys use for cream cheese?

Maybe the marriage of certain foods, and the wood you use, is worthy of it's own thread since there are so many of you who are so accomplished?

I haven't tried smoking cheese, but I do know you have to be careful with Hickory, because you can get some bitterness from it sometimes. I would think Pecan would be a great choice for cheese.

This has everything you need to know. I've use it as the basis for what I do, and have tried a bunch of different spins off it. I like the maple syrup version a lot.

Two smoked cream cheese. One with a four pepper rub (paprika, red pepper, black pepper, and cayenne), and one with a BBQ rub.

How was it , that looks delicious!!! On my last bag of rectec pellets , red oak , white oak , hickory.

So not really sure what flavor of pellets would be best , great think about smoking , lots of experimenting you can do!!!

I love them both. Better than the ones I smoked with apple, that was too sweet.
