Cheese is 1/2 way restocked

driedstick · Dec 31, 2014

Well, with my new smoker I had to try out it would do cold smoking. Had a good supply in the fridge and thought over the Christmas break would be a good time to do it. I will need to do more before it gets too warm out again, (and that will be here sooner than we know it). I was doing this in my new MES 30

this is what I had in the fridge to do.

Never did string cheese before so I thought I would give it a try also.

pull chip drawer out as I have read here on SMF to get better airflow.

I always do. And wipe off the condensation.

driedstick · Dec 31, 2014

yes i let sit in the fridge for 2 days uncovered,, i did not wipe the condensation i let it dry on its own,,i think that helps with more flavour later on

Looks great DS! I'd have a hard time getting 42 degrees today during a cold smoke, without lighting a basket of briquettes!!!!!!!!
