    OK, I'll try smokin' cheese but, been burnt on smoked cheeses

    About the best I can do is cover it tightly with Saran Wrap then in a zip lock bag with as much air out as I can do. Going to be checking yard sales/flea markets for a vac sealer.

    OK, I'll try smokin' cheese but, been burnt on smoked cheeses

    Great, Peach will be my first try. Thanks bunches for the help. I'll do a two hour smoke. With Lox, most people like a 4 hour smoke and 2 hours is my choice that works well for me. So it makes sense to do the 2 hour with cheese.  If it does not work out, my wife will say "I told you so"!  But I...

    OK, I'll try smokin' cheese but, been burnt on smoked cheeses

    I've ordered Alder for LOX, plus Peach, Maple and Apple. I saw where someone used peach on cheese and that sounded good. I suspect certain smoke scents go better with certain cheeses.

    1st jerky

    On jerky I smoke no longer that 1 hour. Usually a bit less than that. I use chunk fruit wood mostly. If I was to use hickory, I would not go over 1/2 hour of smoke. Hickory is strong and will over come the jerky natural flavor and spices you've added. I normally do jerky at 110-130 and then edge...

    Cigar anyone?

    I get this feeling it's going to happen to all of us. First smoking, next salt then BACON!

    OK, I'll try smokin' cheese but, been burnt on smoked cheeses

    My wife and I like an occasional cheese and cracker snack while watching the tube and I have been tempted to try smoking cheese since seeing it on SMF. Problem is we have tried smoked cheeses before from the likes of Hickory Farms and did not think much of them. Like hickory creosote poured on...

    A-Maze-N vs ProQ Cold Smoke Generators

    I finally broke down and decided to get the 5x8. Just was too much trouble maintaining a cold smoke with a handful of coals even in very cold weather. I modified my grill too well and it holds the heat even with all vents plus door wide open and starting at 6 AM.

    Kindly stop watching CBS..disrespectful idiots..

    This shows that there still exists a no respect attitude towards Viet Nam Vets, especially in Hollywood.

    CS Lox with Q View: BBally's recipe does it again!!!

    Thanks Dave. I read some of it and will read it thoroughly and bookmarked it. I am quite impressed that people like yourself and many others here stress food safety issues. I've learned a lot in the short time I've been a member. At first I was concerned about proper usage of Cure #1, but have...

    CS Lox with Q View: BBally's recipe does it again!!!

    Greg and Dave, I was out at 6 AM smoking the salmon with cherry chunks. Kept the temperature below 70 degrees which was easy with it 26 outside. I had soaked it only 60 minutes as I like it a bit salty, and smoked for 2 hours as I don't like a lot of smoke on lox, just a taste. I seceded in...

    CS Lox with Q View: BBally's recipe does it again!!!

    Looks really nice. I followed BBail's recipe also and took mine out of the brine/rub early this morning and it's air drying in the reefer now. Unfortunately I will probably have to smoke it sooner than I should with three days of rain heading my way. How long did you smoke it? The last batch of...

    Pickled Onions and Cornbread

    The onions went terrific with the beans, much better than on the hot dog. My wife said we WILL have those again the next time we have beans and ham.

    Pickled Onions and Cornbread

    Picture is from last night at midnight at my house. Was out at 6:30 AM lighting off the grill this morning with 21/2 pounds of jerky to do. It was 19 degrees! It was low and slow for awhile! Beans in the crock pot smelling great and waiting for the pickled onions!

    Oak chuncks for smoking

    I use nothing but chunks. Wet wood will give off a steamy smoke that probably is not that tasty. You can take a chunk, wrap one layer of aluminum foil completely around it and pinch off a few small opening in the foil on the sides. Lay it on the coals and let it go to work for you. You get...

    trial run at making LOX

    Thanks Dave. So far I have followed his recipe to the letter. I take it out of the rub/brine tomorrow and will soak only. Yes, the recipe is a soak in ice water. I didn't explain myself too well with the running water. That recipe called for running cold fresh water into a bath (in a bowl)...
