    Smoked Pepper Jack

    Well, this is my first attempt at cold-smoking cheese.  Although I'm not a fan of cheese, the wife is, and she loved an Amish-style smoked pepper jack I brought home years ago.  Since I think I've figured out my AMNS, I decided to give it a whirl.   First, I needed to "re-purpose" a small...

    Questions on the A-Maze-N Smoker...

    I'll be doing some cheese up for the wife this weekend, as well.  Thinking of mesquite or hickory for pepper jack cheese.   Thanks for the additional tips.  I'll give these a shot this weekend, and let you know the results.

    Questions on the A-Maze-N Smoker...

    It is the AMNS dust smoker.  I will try your suggestion, and now that you have mentioned it, I recall seeing something about that on the website for the smoker.  Thanks for the tip!

    Questions on the A-Maze-N Smoker...

    Hope this is in the right spot.  I received my new smoker tray Friday, have the initial burn-off complete, and tried a run at cold-smoking some almonds w/Hickory dust.  It seemed to burn well, two rows lasted for a little more than 3 hrs., but it didn't seem to have the depth of flavor that...

    Oh no they lost another customer

    I'm not sure which post author you are replying to, but when I did mine, I cured it for 7 days, flipping the bag every day.  You could probably get by with every other day from the various sources I've read.  I smoked mine at 190° for 4 hours, internal temp just under 140°.

    Hello from NW Ohio!

    Hi, I've been smoking meats for a little over a year, so still wet behind the ears, some.  Recently started gathering materials to do some smoked Hungarian and Polish sausages, and decided to browse the forums.  Once I started doing that, I decided to sign up.  Some other hobbies include...

    Oh no they lost another customer

    Looks great!  I decided to do the same thing over the Christmas holidays, and smoked it up on the 26th of December.  I used a dry-rub, and let it cure for about 7 days, flipping it daily. 5# Slab of pork belly before cure: Brown Sugar Cure: Garlic Pepper Cure: Out of the Smoker...
