Steve,
I followed your idea and it seemed to work perfectly. After I smoked I let it rest wrapped in butcher paper overnite in the mini fridge. Beautiful color overall.
Just smoked these 18 Mozzarella blocks. Actually it was3 racks of 6 blocks on each. Cold smoked for 3 hours using apple dust.
Getting wrapped up in pink butcher paper......
And into the mini fridge for a couple days to rest. Afterwards will vacuum up and back into Mr. Mini.
As so many have already said, this is a sad moment indeed. Bear helped so many of us without hesitation. I can only imagine what he went thru during the final times of his life and am sure he's resting in peace. He paid his dues.......

Got mine as a curb side free bee due to a dead controller. Connected a Auber ws-1510elpm PID controller to it and never looked back. I then did the mailbox mod. Perfect size smoker for my fish, etc. You'll be happy with your upcoming purchase.
SherryT,
Next time you smoke cheese, consider wrapping the newly smoked cheese loosely in some pink butcher paper or paper bag to help wick away any moisture from the surface before vacuum sealing.
I let the cheese rest wrapped in the fridge overnite after the smoke and then vacuum seal the next...
Nice job Steve,
Funny, that I rarely do much with beef but this last week I finished making some Yoshida based eye of round jerky, using my dehydrator as well. Yumm. Got enough to last me thru a few fishing trips as snacks.
Wife and I go out on Rock cod / crab combo fishing trips. We bring home 10 crabs each but have them cooked at the docks before we come home.
Tried cold smoking cooked dungee crab a couple years ago and yes, for my taste buds, it over powers the taste of the meat.
Thanks. I was a little skeptical due to the high winds and low temps around here, but it all worked out. Lots of finish product for upcoming smoked salmon with pasta, smoked salmon chowder, salmon log, etc.
Ray, I hear ya. I love eating Rock cod dishes, then Salmon but most of our Salmon is smoked or given away to friends, family, etc, along with the smoked Ling.
A sportsman’s double, a smoker’s dozen, what’s the difference? Actually there were 13 tails and 2 small filets. Thanks to all for for the kind remarks. I got lots more Salmon to smoke in the near future. Stay tuned.
Here’s another pic while in the smoker
