I figured yesterday would be a good day to smoke up a butt and watch basketball. I totally spaced out and forgot to take prep pictures so my bad on that.
Started at 9:30 am and fired up my mes 30 to 235 degrees and filled up my amnps with hickory pellets and lit both ends.
Rubbed down the 10...
Thanks for the advice. I wasnt sure if I vaccupacked them up to early and it didn't breathe enough or what. I think I'll just leave them in zip lock bags maybe for a couole months
So its been 3 weeks and I decided to give the cheese a try. Its still extremely smokey and bitter. Is this normal after 3 weeks? Is it possible I over smoked them?
For what its worth I lowered the temp in the smoker from 275 to 250. And I got a much better result of smoke inside the smoker. Not sure what caused that but I'm happy with the result.
yes that will probably be my next option after this.

this is after 2 hours of smoking and 1 relight. so its definitely burning. Just not clouding up the smoker like I am used to.
Yes it does. Totally different smell than I had with the chips however. I believe that is due to Todds quality pellets as opposed to wood chips. I just had to open to door to check my temp and noticed when it opens it seems to pick up a little bit. so I need to play with my chip loader some more...
OK thanks I'll just keep an eye out without opening it up. its been about an hour and a half into the smoke so far. Normally with the chips I've built up alot of smoke in the unit and refilled the loader at least twice by now.
So this may be a dumb question but this is the first time i am using my new AMNPS for a hot smoke. When i cold smoked cheese last week i had a good amount of smoke in my MES 30 for the 4 hours that it was smoking. Before I had the AMNPS and i was using wood chips i also had quite a bit of smoke...
Thanks for the info Mr. T I went with the extension because I knew I had a lot of smoke in the unit and was concerned about the amount of smoke coming out of the vent. It would look good then kind of die off. Its probably just me being over concerned.
And I do love scalloped potatoes..thanks...
Thanks guys, I'm impatiently waiting to see how it tastes. I didn't have the guts to try a piece afterwards as everyone says its terrible. I was very happy with the amount of smoke that was generated, I had to side vent wide open and actually yesterday I bought a 3 inch elbow to attatch to it...
I figured today would be as good a day as any to fire up my AMNPS for the first time and try my hand at cold smoking for the first time as well. Here goes nothing!
From the top. Pepper jack, then monterey jack, mild cheddar, then mozzarella at the bottom.
AMNPS loaded up with pitmasters...
