    Why one should learn to control their smoke when smoking cheese or other products.

    T, Thanks for the comments.  Glad you think I'm heading in the right direction.  Pulled the cheese at about 4 1/2 hours.  No sweat and dry to the touch. Pepperjack from Sam's.  I'm the only one who appreciates it in my house, so I don't smoke too much at a time.  Hopefully this will last a...

    Why one should learn to control their smoke when smoking cheese or other products.

    Mr T, I live in Florida so cold smoking cheese is a challenge.  We might get 5-7 days of cold weather to play with.  I also work so those days need to land on a Saturday to boot.  Today was one of those days, but I got a late start that I won't even try to explain.  Needless to say by the time...

    PS. How was the meatloaf?  Your opinion is the only thing that counts on this question

    SMOKED MEATLOAF w/ my new FIREBOARD REMOTE THERMOMETER

    I might offend some with what I'm about to state, but so be it. I was impressed with two items with Al's original post.        1. It was focused on meatloaf.  One of my favorite things on the grill or smoker.        2.  How objectively he presented information on a new smoking thermometer...

    WSM thermometer way off?

    It's not unusual.  In fact it is a norm.  Watch the temps and sometimes it will flip flop.  On a long smoke, it usually will come very close to evening out..  I replaced the factory with a tel tru and put the same in the side near the grate.  I wanted both thermometers to be the same brand. Now...

    New use for the MES 40

    I originally bought mine here: http://www.culturesforhealth.com/make-it.html.  I think you can also get it at Amazon. I have read you can use yogurt that has active culture, but I have never tried it.  I have been using mine now for almost a year. Good luck.  It's not hard, but it is a long...

    New use for the MES 40

    I've heard you can make ricotta cheese from whey as well.  But I never have enough to bother with it.  Besides I get free eggs which is whey more important. Pun.

    New use for the MES 40

    If you have an electric smoker you might try using it.  I set the temp on the MES at 110 and let it rip for 9 hours.  I used my "Smoke" to monitor the temps. Yogurt mix was rock steady at 110 the entire time.  Air temp obviously fluctuated between 105 and 117.  I used the timer on the MES at 9...

    SMOKED MEATLOAF w/ my new FIREBOARD REMOTE THERMOMETER

    Al, Meatloaf looked great, and so did the potatoes. That new thermometer looks great as well.  Makes me wish my Thermapen would break now.

    New use for the MES 40

    In addition to smoking bacon, cheese, and making Canadian Bacon I make my own yogurt every two weeks. Normally after heating the milk to 160 degrees and letting it cool to 110, I would use my warming drawer to keep it at 110 degrees for 9 hours.  That worked well but I could not get two large...
