    First and second smoke: Eggs and cheese

    OK, this mess goes in the newbie section.  I live in an apartment, been reading the board for a little while now, and it was suggested that I try making a flowerpot smoker, so I did.  Here it is, and the results of my first and second outing with it. First, the wood.  I live in Japan, and they...

    Is vacuum packing necessary?

    Thanks to all for your advice.  I've got my first batch of cheese on right now, couldn't wait to get a vacuum sealer (or a thermometer, things are getting melty!)  We'll see how the saran wrap works out, and put a sealer on the Christmas list maybe.

    Hello from Osaka, Japan

    HI all, new to the forum and completely new to smoking food.  I live in a 5th floor apartment with a very small balcony (about a meter deep!), so I'm reading as much as I can on indoor/small scale and cold smoking.  So far, I've twice smoked things in the oven in a disposable alder smoking bag...
