    I had to try it.

    I kept staring at that 2 1/2 lb, jumbo-sized, what-am-I-gonna'-do-with-that, bag of Chex-Mix every time I walked by it. Somehow, I inherited it at Christmas-time from a previous owner that had no idea what to do with an industrial-sized bag of Chex-Mix. Thanks.

    A few leftover hard-boiled eggs, and 2 blocks of Monterey Jack cheese also went for a quick smoke with the Chex-Mix.

    I loaded up some pecan pellets, and then fired up the smoker, aiming for 235F. This was going to be a short endeavor, an hour at the most. All was going smoothly. The eggs, and cheese went on without a hitch. Now that Chex-Mix was another story. If you want to test your prowess as a professional Meat Probe Inserter, try sticking that sucker into a piece of cereal.

    After a pesky double-stall from the Chex-Mix, things rolled along nicely! Odd thing is, for most of the time, the Meat Probe was strangely within a degree or two of the Smoker Temp Probe. Hmm...go figure. I guess i'll have to study up on that later.

    Now, in all seriousness, I held smoker temp to 235F for one hour. The eggs, and cheese were to my liking, but the Chex-Mix was a little smoky. Chex-Mix takes on smoke rapidly--30 minute smoke for it next time. I vacuum packed the cheese for a 30-day sit in the fridge, (taking advice from a previous cheese Pit-thread). I had some smoked egg on my Caesar salad, and loved it! After an over-night rest on the counter, the Chex-Mix had mellowed some, and was good for munching on at that point.

    Happy New Year, and keep the smoke rolling in 2017! Click image for larger version  Name:	IMG_20161227_154317_338.jpg Views:	1 Size:	3.13 MB ID:	257945

    Can't say I've ever wanted to smoke Chex-Mix. Interesting!

      I think you are supposed to soak a piece of melba toast in water in order to soften for probe insertion.
