I wrapped the cheese in plastic wrap. Is that ok, should I vacuum seal instead?
 
Leif you have a vac sealer the yes, seal it up. If you do not have one then wrap and then throw wrapped cheese into a ziplock, squeeze as much air out as possible.

Remove the chip loader and the chip tray from the mes. Make sure top vent is fully open , nuke chips / pellets for 1 min.  light, let burn blow out an relight.

 I had a few times that it didn't want to stay lit. Once i removed the loader and tray ,no more problems.

The importance of waiting is what I learned this past weekend. Did my first cheese smoke back in mid-December. Used oak b/c I didn't have apple or alder yet, and I smoked it for about 4 hours which is pretty heavy for using oak. Ate some of it about 10 days later around Christmas and it was ok, but a bit bitter and pungent. I also gave some to my buddy as a gift.

I totally forgot about it until last weekend when we were hanging at his house and he cracked it out of the vac seal....OMG! It was unbelievable! It had rested for about 10 weeks and mellowed to perfection! I couldn't believe it was from the same batch that I had "over smoked".

It was the block on the lower right.

After talking with you on the phone it took off and I didnt have any problems.

I am looking to buy a pellet smoker now.

Thanks again
 
Its ok, I hope to soon have a pellet model.
 
So the pellet smoker doesn't need to have as much draft as the dust model?
 
You talk alot. Lol.
Do they ever go on sale?
