    chips vs pellets (Thin Blue Smoke/TBS) and cheese

    Today i made a revelation. My A-Maz-N pellet smoker tray came today. I did a smoke test. I started my MES with cold smoke attachment and let it warm up. I simultaneously lit the amazn pellet tray and LO and BEHOLD, my smoke quality has been the issue. Billowing white smoke from the cold smoke...

    chips vs pellets (Thin Blue Smoke/TBS) and cheese

    Hey Al, i noticed that you elevated the MBS as well. Is this to keep smoke going in a rising direction?

    Want to try my first cheese smoke...

    yes to the tray of ice but also make sure the tray of ice is on a rack below your cheese rack(s) or the condensation water droplets will fall on your cheese.

    smoking cheese and rest?

    UPDATE So it's been just about 3 weeks. 5.12.2018 was the smoke date for 3 hours with a maple, cherry and hickory blend (pellets). opened the vacuumed sealed swiss today. much less like a chimney than a week ago but still strong. I think i'll wait another week. I can taste greatness though.

    Looking for dry rub for ribs

    my go-to Rub (kansas city style). i've used on pork and beef everything. it's definitely sweet. 2 cups sugar (brown or white or both) i find that white sugar makes it less clumpy. 1/2 cup dry mustard 1 TBS cayenne pepper 1 TBS smoked paprika 1 TBS onion powder 1 TBS garlic powder 1 TBS salt 2...
