    Rec Tec or BGE?

    Stampede owner here. Haven't heard anything about a cover but I'm going to call and rattle the cage. Re vents... I got the vent tubes (the little horizontal chimneys). I like them for keeping rain and snow out when doing long smokes. I've had no problems with them and I'm glad to have them. I...

    Pellets

    You know what... Give em a try. See if you like the flavor... Won't hurt, I used a "master blend". White oak, red oak and hickory. Supposed to be GREAT. It's OK! I got a Apple blend - cheep. But you know what, I like the flavor better. IN THE END IT'S ONLY GOING TO END UP MATTERING TO YOU AND...

    Smoked Parmesan

    Ha, Ha, my smoked cheese is GONE!!! My wife Devoured the Velveeta. I loved the harder cheese. I'm going to do another batch soon. This time more parm, Asiago and Velveeta.

    Venison Fattie

    Was reading Hawging It's thread and followed your link here. A friend just gave me a bunch of venison and one backstrap. I've always had problems (on the gasser) with over done venison and now that I've got the pellet pooper I want to give it a shot again. This looks like the perfect recipe...

    Ref; Has any one done a charity?

    We did one through our church. Worked out great. When are you doing it? (Just got back from trip so may be too late to help but if not, call me and I'll pitch in - Dave.

    Cheese Smorgasboard

    Go further north. Check out the Cranberry cheddar cheese, The Blue cheese spread and if you get up to the UP get some of their local Asiago.

    Cheese Smorgasboard

    Yup, I'm in Cheese Valhalla!!! My so-so local cheese store has some AWESOME Ghost pepper cheese, some Lacy swiss and Lacy Hivarti. Then there's The the Montimori factory (like a white crumbly cheese with kosher salt crystals in it) and I'm still searching for the mom and pop that makes the...

    Cheese Smorgasboard

    We have So Many Great Cheese stores here in Wisconsin that it's a blessing (or maybe a curse?). We've smoked a bunch of them now and I have my favorites. More than pulled pork and beef brisket, they are adding to my waste line :-( Be that as it is, I'll still be doing more smoked cheese!

    First-timer (dumb) cheese smok'in questions

    Chris, I did the initial smoke for 4 hrs on all the cheeses. The Velveeta didn't taste right so after a 48 hr rest I did another two hours of smoke. My wife and I can't seem to keep from eating it now. (Also), the Blue is OUTSTANDING! Our salads are WAY more tasty. From here out I'll be using...

    First-timer (dumb) cheese smok'in questions

    OK, what's your opinions on the smoked Velveeta? I did mine for 6 hrs and we're loveing it! Maybe my taste buds are way off. I'd like to know your opinion.

    Smoked Parmesan

    I just finished my first ever batch of cheese so I'M NOT AN EXPERT! That said, all my hard cheeses, (baby brick, cheddar, Munster and Gouda took the smoke well at 4 hrs. I also did blue and Velveeta. Both needed 6+ hrs. The blue I attribute it to the overwhelmed flavor of the blue. The Velveeta...

    Re refrigeration or freezing... It may be a mute point. We're going through it so fast that freezing it may be a non issue.

    Greetings from Maine

    Welcome from another newbie!! But I gotta hear more about your opinions of BEEF as a "livestock specialist". MY ULTIMATE SMOKE IS BRISKET!!! I'd also be interested in your opinions on Lamb.

    First-timer (dumb) cheese smok'in questions

    I'll never rap my cheese in butcher paper again!!! I rapped it for two days and then did the taste test. Yes, the Velveeta needed to go longer. Problem was, rapping it caused them to dry out. Next time I'll try plastic rap. Re: Velveeta... It DID NOT turn out as I remembered. I smoked it for 4...

    Do you freeze or refrigerate smoked cheese after you vacuum seal it?

    European trip

    So... Europe... So far, one place had GREAT pork hocks - Chesky Kremlov (suculient, with plenty of juewa - that clear area that surrounds joints) - others were deep fried (dry) or over cooked - again, dry) and one was so over cooked and dry that I'd describe it as crusty throughout - yuck...
