    First Time Cheese - Smoked, Rested, Still Not Good...Advice?

    I've smoked a lot of cheese and my family loves it, most importantly my thirteen year old granddaughter, she loves smoked foods as much as I do. I use a Bradley and cold smoke for two hours using apple, usually around 60ºF. After two hours, I bring it in the house and let it rest for two hours...

    First Time Cheese - Smoked, Rested, Still Not Good...Advice?

    JMHO but cold smoke for two hours max (I use apple wood for my cheese). Let rest for a couple hours on the counter after pulling it from the smoker. After the rest put it in the fridge on racks overnight. Vacuum seal it the next day and don't consider trying it for at least 8 weeks. I've...

    Too cold? More help from the cheese people.

    Vacuum pack it and let it age in the fridge. It will darken up, we don't usually try it until it has aged for at least sixty days. JMHO

    Cheese freeze

    I agree with the posts above, and I smoke a lot of cheese. Don't freeze it, smoked cheese will keep for months, years in fact in the fridge. It only gets better in the fridge.

    First bacon belly , wet brined POPS

    It's a small hole just to the right of the digital temperature reading display.  You'll need a something small such as a paperclip to make the adjustment.  Be sure to set your 'P' setting back to '2' (the original setting) when you are finished with your bacon.

    First bacon belly , wet brined POPS

    You'll be able to smoke at a cooler temp with your Traeger if you adjust the 'P' setting to '4'.

    Hello From Alaska

    Sorry for posting twice.  I had no idea the first post had gone through as I didn't get a verification or any kind of indicator. Thanks much for the warm welcome!

    Hello From Alaska

    Hi, I'm from Wasilla Alaska and have had several big chief and little chief smokers over the years.  My smoked salmon has always been a big hit!  I've changed my style of smoking over the years and now have a Traeger Pro - Bronze (which I absolutely love) and have a Bradley Original Smoker and...

    Looks like you have a great forum here.  I'm from Wasilla Alaska and besides my Weber gas grill, I have a Traeger Texas Pro-Bronze.  Also have a Bradley Original and a Bradley cold smoke adapter on order.  I prefer cold smoking bacon.
