    First attempt at cheese and my new cold smoke setup

    I put the cheese in a drawer in my beer fridge in the garage and kept forgetting about it. I finally remembered to get it out and do a taste test. (Sorry; no pics.) They were both very good.

    Pulled Pork

    @Sven Svensson I've cut a few larger butts into smaller chunks. I haven't had any problems. I've smoked some, cooked some in sous vide, and just did one in the Instant Pot the other night. They've all turned out amazing.
