    Can't post a Q view???

    That does sometimes happen.  Hopefully, the moderator will notice and do something about it.

    What odd flavors have you used on cheese??

    A while back I did a test run with three types of sawdust from Todd and a number of types of cheese.  I had wine barrel oak, whiskey barrel oak and peach.  To tell the truth, the differences between them were subtle at best, at least to my taste buds.  Much more difference in the types of...

    MES control panel problems

    My control unit went bonkers -- but after four years of sitting outside.  I do keep it covered when not in use, but the cover I had started leaking.  I suspect it let water get in and mess things up.  It was not acting like you describe, but would shut itself off at the slightest whim. Since it...

    New Guy w/ MES 40

    I agree with most of those tips. One that I don't really appreciate is why bother preheating?  Why not let the meat get heated up that half hour or so it takes for the box to reach temperature? I also use an extension cord -- but *NOT* one of the typical household cords one might use for a...

    Bone Sucking Sauce

    It is one of my favorites. I have noticed that some of the other sauces are going back to a formulation without high fructose corn syrup.  That is a good move.

    This is the right time of year to be using it for cold smoking of cheese.  It is really great for that.

    Bear Meat for the Bear ??? (could be offensive pictures to anti-hunters)

    We don't have bear around us.  We are in an urban area of central Maryland, but with enough green space around us that deer population can get to be a problem.  The state regularly licenses hunters to thin the population, either with bow & arrow in populated areas or by sharpshooters in places...

    New Smoker for Birthday!

    Both you guys will just have to convince her that you need it to prepare the Christmas spread.  Pick you favorite meat and work on that with her.

    Where to find Apple Chips

    Last time I was in Lowes lumber/hardware store I saw apple chips there.  I can get them at either of two hardware stores near me, one is an ACE and I think the other is a Service Master.

    smoked some chedder and nuts for thanksgiving dinner w qview

    What I've heard said is that during the resting period, the smoke flavor seeps into the body of the cheese more, instead of being mostly on the surface.  What I know, is that after a couple of weeks it does taste better.   I vacume sealed mine right away, and let it rest.  Some of it is still...

    Smokers For Soldiers

    Hey Todd, Those are good looking boys you have.   Look like they are at the age where they are really enjoyable.  Just wait.  In about 5 years, they will decide that they know it all.  After another 5-10 years, they'll relearn that Dad is really an ok guy:-}}

    Newbie who wants recommendations on cold smokers

    I add my voice to just sticking with the AMNS and not getting a separate "cold smoker".  You put the AMNS in your cookshack and don't use any heat for cold smoke and use low heat for warm smoke.  I'm not sure that the unit in the link you gave is cold enough for cheese smoking -- I know that...

    Where to find Wood?

    Thanks for the info. In the post I read about using sawdust from a chainsaw, the poster said that he used a vegetable oil product versus motor oil.  My guess is that the sawdust would be affected more than wood chunks.
