Thanks Tom, excellent write up!  I think the waxing makes a really pretty product and will make excellent gifts for your friends and family!

I just realized I never posted the 'after' pictures for the cheese.  I did two batches, one for 28 hours with powder, one for 25 hours with pellets and both ends of the tray lit. 1st half of the cheese smoked with Pitmaster's Choice pellets blended to powder for 28 hours: **Edited to include...

Well I feel stupid, I actually have the frog mats and didn't even think of using them for cheese, I've been using them for nuts and other small stuff but obviously they would be great for cheese! I'll break out the ol' sandblaster and give the mailbox a good cleaning out, then run some beads of...

Thanks Dave, that's great info!

Dave, As you know, I copied your setup exactly, except for adding more pipe.  How do you handle all of the condensate that accumulates in the mailbox?  Do you use a catch pan underneath?  This is what my mailbox looks like after a 25 hour smoke with full trays of pellets with both ends lit...

It just so happens that I can help you with that. For around $50 (depending on what you have on hand already) you can have an amazing cold smoker! I think you will be able to see my setup by browsing my threads, but I will update this post with a link when I get home. I'll send you a private...

I did a strange smoke today that came out amazing....pizza!  I cranked the MES up to max and let it heat up, loaded a tray of Pitmaster's Choice pellets into the mailbox, and put a Digiorno pizzeria style margarita pizza on the top rack.  It took 20 minutes to bake at 300.  After taking it out I...

Thanks Gary!   Thanks dls1!  I'm very curious to do the same thing with hot smokes now and see what happens.  I'm bombarded with work projects right now, but I'll get to it!

Thanks Gary!  

Thank you for teaching me how to do it!  My family and friends are loving it! Thank you Eric!  I enjoy tinkering and building stuff, it is very zen for me. Tom is indeed a wealth of knowledge, and I'm more than happy to learn from his experience instead of learning the hard way!  I'm very...

Thank you Chef! Edit* Love the PC quote in your signature 

That's what I use mine for, doing different textures of coffee beans.  One day when I was grinding coffee I thought "hey, this would tear up some pellets!".  I'll pick up another one next time I'm at the store and report back on how it works.  Blending them to powder took about 20-30 minutes for...

Thank you!  I'm glad you found it helpful!

Ha!  You aren't kidding!  I am using the 'old' blender that she replaced with a 'Ninja'.  It's called a Hamilton Beach Wave Action.  I just put a couple of handfuls of pellets in and let'r rip.  The 'wave action' on this thing keeps pulling the pellets, then dust, then powder down into the...
