    A-maz-n Cheese

    Just a little cheese for the coming winter. 16 pounds of Pepper Jack, mild and sharp Cheddar, Colby, Mozzarella, and Munster. A 4 hour smoke with a mix of apple and cherry pellets. The tray works great. GALLERY=media, 484200]20160807_172202_resized.jpg by isitdoneyet posted Aug 7, 2016 at 6:59...

    Andouille time!!

    Great info. I will have to try that next time. Do you use a certain amount? Have you done it with pellets on an A-MAZE-N pellet smoker tube or tray? I have some Pecan pellets and would like to try this next time I make andouille.

    Bresaola and Lonzino in the Umai bag for the long wait

    It's been about 2 weeks. Weighed them up last night and they are at about 15% weight loss. Got a good adherence of the bags to the meat. Makes fridge smell wonderful.

    Thanks, Would freezing change the texture of the finished product? How long does it last sealed and refrigerated?

    Using UMAI Bags for Capicola, Lomo, Lonzino, Prosciuttini, and Bresaola (QVIEW)

    That looks amazing.  I have a question for all of you. How do you guys save/store your finished product (If you don't eat it all in a day).
