    COLD Smoking Cheese on the Smokin-It#3

    Wow!!! Well done!!! When I've done cold smoked blue I always leave it vacuum sealed for at least 1 month before opening, and the soft cheeses like Brie and havarti for at least 2 weeks. The hard cheeses were also at least 2 weeks before opening to let the smoke mellow in the cheese! Once...

    I will NOT give up on my AMZNPS !

    I don't have the pellet tray, I have the dust tray and had a heck of a time keeping mine out also. I noticed with the dust tray that I had to really pack the dust into the tray and using a butane torch on the lighting end for at least 1 minute is a mandatory. After that I would gently blow on...

    My First Brisket!! (W/Q-View)

    Bwarbiany - It was called a First Cut from the butcher that I got it from, approx 6.5lb, I think it would be considered a brisket flat though??? I remember the guy saying it did not have the point attached

    My First Brisket!! (W/Q-View)

    Sounds good, we hit 167*F at 11:24AM so I pulled it and just did a double foil wrap, and poured some room temperature beef broth into the bottom of the foil wrap to give it some extra juice .  Put it back on and the temp climbed up to about 174*F, which was taken at 11:33AM. It's 11:46AM and...

    My First Brisket!! (W/Q-View)
