Christmas Cheese Smoke
I want to try cheese for the first time to do gifts too. If I vac seal them, what kind of storage is needed? like I don't need to put the gifts in the fridge do I? lol Also I just started researching cheese smoking, but the aging, curing, storage still has me somewhat confused.- krazykid

Pre seasoning new MES 30" - heats up but I don't see smoke
I just got my first electric a MES 40 a few days ago. Get a $20-30 digital thermometer with the probe on the long lead, stick it inside somehow on the middle tray so the metal probe isn't touching the metal racks. fire the smoker back up and compare temps on the unit vs the external...- krazykid
