Equipment

  • Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Grill and Smoker

Ingredients

  • ½ cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1½ cups Salted Butter
  • ½-¾ cups applewood pellets or your pellets of choice
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Set up the Smoker

  • Add the pellets to the hopper box.
    Make sure the grate or griddle is installed.
    Turn on the Woodfire Grill and turn the dial to select the Smoker Function.
    Press the temperature button down as low as it will go. If you have the cold smoke function, your display will read "CLD," if you don't, then it will show the lowest temp in degrees. Any temperature up to 180℉/80℃ is fine for smoking butter.
    Press the time button up to 2 hours and 15 minutes.
    Press start and let the ignition process finish and then burn off the heavy smoke for an additional 10-15 minutes before adding the tray of butter.
    ½-¾ cups applewood pellets

Smoke the Butter

  • Place the cold or frozen butter in a tray that is about 8"x6" with a 2" lip.
    Put the tray of butter on the grill grate or griddle.
    Top off the pellets in the hopper.
    Keep the lid closed for 1 hour.
    After an hour of smoking the butter, stir and give it a taste. If it has enough smoke flavor for you, you can remove the tray and turn off the smoker.
    If you want more smoke flavor, leave the tray in the smoker and close the lid.
    Top off the hopper box with pellets and let the remaining hour of smoke time finish.
    ½ cup Unsalted Butter, 1½ cups Salted Butter

Process the Butter

  • Remove the tray of butter. It will be separated at this point and you will see the darker milk solids.
  • Pour the butter into a blender or blender cup and pulse blend until it has emulsified again.
  • Pour the butter into butter molds or into a container with a lid. Place it in the fridge to chill for a few hours.
  • Serve the butter on anything you like!
