    First Time Smoking Cheese

    I did cut up one block and taste it because without much color change I wasn't convinced there would be a noticeable smoke flavor.  I was wrong, the cheese took on plenty of smoke for my taste.  I'm very happy with it.  I do think the AMNPS would make it easier, I now wonder if I will miss the...

    Good Luck to you, I've really enjoyed my MES.  Just remember smoking food is an addiction, once you get hooked it's awfully hard to quit.

    Waxing Smoked Cheese Question???

    This is my first try at smoking and waxing, so forgive me for the questions, but how long do you let the cheese dry?  I've heard people say to leave it out for 24 hours before waxing.  Is this long enough?  I suppose the real answer to this question is, "as long as it takes"  lol Thanks for the...
