    Help with smoking goat cheese

    I'm not sure what the consistency of you cheese is but I think I would treat it like fresh mozzarella. Unwrap and blot it dry with paper towel. Put it on a wire cooling rack over a plate to catch any liquid. Allow it to form a slightly dry skin on it to prevent drying out in the smoker. Smoke...

    San Francisco Bay Area Air Quality Management looking to Ban Smoking and Outdoor Cooking

    I kind of have to agree with you. I lived in Antioch when I was a kid and had lots of family in St. Helena in the Napa Valley. St. Helena's gotten that way. You can't blow your nose without a permit. Most of the family has either moved to the Northwest or Lake County.

    Bone in pork sirloin roast?

    I think I got it figured out. Cushion and sirloin are from different ends of the animal. Might pick some up anyway if it's trimmed decent. It might make some good back bacon or grind for sausage at that price.

    Bone in pork sirloin roast?

    A local discount food market has bone in pork sirloin roasts for 1.39lb if you buy 10lbs or more. I haven't seen it yet as I can't get up there until Friday. Just curious if this would be a similar cut to pork cushion which I have done before. The last cushion I bought got cured and smoked like...

    Pork Butt - something wrong with my smoker ?

    What they said. My MES goes to 275 and I cook my butts at max it will go. I honestly can't tell the difference between this and one cooked at 225. Smoking should be fun and delicious. Making it frustrating defeats the purpose.

    Smoke Hollow Smoker

    Hey Scooter. I assume your smoker is electric from the sound of things. The first thing I would do is cut a hole in the top and try to rig some kind of damper on the thing. Can you post some pics of your smoker?

    STEELHEAD!

    I know your pain. I had some cheese in the smoker and was ready to head out, grab a beer, and watch my cheese smoke. Very glad I decided to finish watching the game. They let the Beast loose!

    Anyone know if Amazon Canopy Warranty is worth the money?

    I have had my MES 40 gen1 I got from Amazon for 4 years and no problems. I don't know about their extended warranty on that product but I would read the fine print before purchasing it. A lot of those warranties come with so many restrictions that it is almost impossible to cash in on them. For...

    Too Much Smoke

    To my taste Maple is a more neutral tasting wood so you might try maple as your main wood and add the occasional small chunks of cherry. Not all cherry is created equal either. I just did a cheese smoke today with some Western brand cherry chips and it was stronger smelling than some other...

    Firing off the Cannon tomorrow! Now with Q-view.

    Thanks Pop-Pop. I kept smoke on them the entire time except about 1/2 hour. I had probes in the breast and thigh and was hoping for 170 breast and 165 thigh. As it turned out the thigh was quite a ways behind the thigh so the breast finished at about 178.
