When I was rearranging some of the cheese I recently smoked I noticed in a couple that I could see oil on the sealed pack. Is that normal?- bigboy

My first cheese
I've been keeping pics of the cheese and right now I only use pellets so I should be good there. As far as the smoke color that could be challenging. I've been smoking these at night so I can't really get a good look at the smoke. It seems pretty consistent though. As far as the ambient temp...- bigboy

My first cheese
I believe I am. I've been keeping track of what cheese I'm smoking, the date as well as the length of time and what flavor of wood I'm using. As I'm trying them im keeping track of how many days that particular cheese has mellowed and how good it was. The only one we haven't been a big fan of...- bigboy

My first cheese
I was wondering about the mellowing process as well. I was going to go with 2.5 or 3 again but I wanted these a little darker. I'm curious so see how they taste after about a month.- bigboy

My first cheese
I just use the amazing tube smoker with some apple pellets. The blue cheese wedge I have seemed hard so I wasn't sure if that should take longer or what. Thanks again for the help. I'll be back on later to post pics.- bigboy

My first cheese
Thanks. I have yet to have to pay any dry but I was just curios if I had to or not. A couple of youtube videos I've seen said to pat dry any oil that surfaces but I wasn't 100% sure. I grabbed a little wedge if blue cheese to smoke tonight along with some others I'll post later. I know I just...- bigboy

You mentioned having cheese on the counter for a couple of months I thought. That was the time I was referencing. So if I see some moisture on the cheese can I pat it dry with a paper towel or should I let it dry? If the latter, how long should I leave if it out?- bigboy

T, In your guide I read that you leaft cheese out of The refrigerator for quite some time. Why was that? Are there benefits or disadvantages to putting your cheese right in the fridge after vacuum sealing it?- bigboy

My first cheese
I'm going to stock up as much as possible. I already got a hard provolone, some gouda and a few others that I'll be doing tomorrow evening. I'm going so smoke a batch per week until the weather warms up. At what temp should I start adding ice or something in the WSM? I'm trying to avoid trial...- bigboy
