    MULE'S SMOKED CHEESE IN THE DELUXE UDS WITH AMNPS

    I tried my first smoking of Provalone and Cougar Gold Chedder last year. I was told never to smoke it over 2 hours! I saw very little color change so I pulled equal parts of the cheese at 4, 6, 8 & 12 hours. Tried it a few days later and thought about tossing the whole bunch. Tasted it too soon...

    Seeking Advice - Horizon 16" Classic v. Big Green Egg

    Ribwizard - I have the XL BGE and have no problem doing 8 racks of ribs, 20 pounds of salmon, or 30 - 40 pounds of pork at one cook. It burns easily to 20 hours plus and if I can't cook it in that period of time I'm not interested.

    Seeking Advice - Horizon 16" Classic v. Big Green Egg

    If you can't get a good smoke in your egg - you are not using the right lump coal or wrong wood chunks. Everything I do gets a great smoke ring ans flavor.

    You won't find a more flexible system than the Egg! Easy to control temp and long cooks as well as hot cooks.

    Tuning a Smoke N Pit

    The best lump charcoal I have found to date is Big Green Egg. Its not cheap but it outlasts all I've tried with the least ash.

    24 pounds of dry cured belly bacon (pic heavy)

    Navigator - Is there any reason a rib rack wouldn't work for vertical positioning of the bacon during smoking? I'm vertcally challenged in my Big Green Egg.

    Campfire bacon..

    It looks amazing. I am going to make my first attempt at bacon in a week or so. Would you be willing to share that brine recipe?

    A-Maze-N-Pellet-Smoker in a big green egg

    The cheese smoked up wonderful. Taste test in two weeks. The smoked salmon and halibut also turned out wonderful after 5 hours cold smoke in the big green egg. I then finished it up with 5 hour hot smoke. I can't tell you how wonderful it tastes and I will begin sharing with my friends Wednesday!

    Reheating pulled pork

    I do this all the time by using a large crock pot. I put in the pulled pork and add 1 - 12 ounce bottle BBQ sauce of your choice. This is just enough to keep everything moist. People can add the sauce of their choice when they plate or bread up. I really like to add  a little Famous Dave's ...

    Chipping Wood

    My friend learned the hard way not to store chips in an air tight container. They turn to mold and or mildew. My experience has been to stick with chunks and you get a longer controlled smoke as long as the fire box is air tight to control burning. Thats what makes it work in a big green egg.
