    Infusion BBQ Pressure Cooker (INDOOR Smoker/Pressure Cooker)

    This is almost too funny.... This thing popped up on Woot.com a couple of days ago and it peeked my interest.  Smoker?  OK, where else can you go to check this thing out than smokingmeatforums!  So I pop over here and do a quick search and of course there's a few posts about it.  Low and...

    How long will cheese last vaccum sealed in Refrigerator?

    And here's one for the budget minded (today only - 4/24/11) http://sellout.woot.com/ 17.99 - I've got one of these and it works great.

    How long will cheese last vaccum sealed in Refrigerator?

    But the only reason I could think of that would allow it to last that long is if somebody forgot it was there and buried it under some rutabagas or turnips that never get disturbed. Man!!!  Why don't you go ahead and tell the dog where I hide her chicken jerky treats and the kids that they...

    First cold smoke, first cheese smoke, first Q View

    I'm so glad some one on here was able to snatch up that deal on the vacuum sealer - they do show up from time to time on the deal of the day sites I monitor.  Pretty darn good little sealer for that price I have to say!  Congrats on the purchase...and the cheese!

    First cold smoke, first cheese smoke, first Q View

    Well, I hate to say the JD did not accomplish what I was after.  What it actually was just give it a slightly sour/slightly sharp note at first taste.  Took some of the "mellow" back out.  No unique/interesting flavor that I could pick up at all.  Now the garlic/black pepper was nice!  Probably...

    First cold smoke, first cheese smoke, first Q View

    I'll be trying it out on Tuesday and will try to let you know....hopefully I put enough on/in it to notice it.  The Adams Reserve NY Extra Sharp and the 5 hour hickory smoke are some serious flavors for the little bit of JD to compete with.  That JD is magical in cooking, though, so I have high...

    MAK Pellet Grill Cold Smoked Cheese

    So BearCarver (or any one else) - are you keeping vacuum sealed  cheese unrefrigerated?  That was my only goal with the idea of waxing it.

    MAK Pellet Grill Cold Smoked Cheese

    Great - thank you.  I had read that waxed cheese can keep for 25 years.  Wish I had known that while they had my new favorite cheese on sale for $2.99 /lb.  Sadly I got the last 6 pounds of it about a week ago.

    My 1st attempt at cheese on the new pit

    I'll toss in another recommendation for the AMNS and the rack/box method.  I use that for bacon and cheese (so far) with fantastic results.  I like 4-5 hours on extra sharp cheddar! (only used hickory so far with fantastic results...

    MAK Pellet Grill Cold Smoked Cheese

    Cheese looks great!  I'd be interested in reading some on the process for waxing the cheese - can you recommend any site in particular?  I assume you need a special type of wax to start with.  This *might* be a way for me to avoid having to buy another refrigerator to handle my little cheese...

    First cold smoke, first cheese smoke, first Q View

    That cheese looks excellent!  Providing you can manage to wait the full 2 weeks - you are in for a real treat!  I haven't tried the pepperjack yet - have done about 30+ lbs of extra sharp and mozzarella and for my tastes I like the extra sharp.  Out of the last batch I took 1 lb and added some...

    First Bacon...Ever! With Qview

    Now that's a good lookin' load of bacon right there!  Man, makes me want to run down and get another bag of mine out of the freezer - but alas, we are having a baconless dinner tonight (I know, it's criminal)!

    Saturday Morning Cage Fight

    Thanks everyone.  One of the main reasons I wanted to go ahead and do such a large amount is to REALLY show what you can do with just the A-Maze-N-Smoker and a cardboard box.  For cold smoking cheese and bacon this is by far my preferred method over using my masterbuilt 7-1 smoker/grill.  It's...

    First time Cheese Smoking pics

    I've only smoked 2 batches so far - seems like about 6-7 lbs first batch and 22lbs yesterday so I'm certainly a novice but I have to say this... There IS a difference in taste from 1 day and from waiting 2 weeks.  I'd suggest you wait the 2 weeks.  Also the type of wood used and the outside...
