    question on smoked cheese

    I am going try smoking cheese for the first time tomorrow.  Does it matter if the cheese is cold when i start to smoke it or do i need to let it warm up to room temp before starting?  Can I put it on the smoker right out of the refridgerator?

    Help me with my 15lb Butt

    I did a butt a couple weeks ago.  Just put it on the smoker and maintain a temp around 225 in the smoker. Just let it do its thing until you get an internal temp of 200.  Mine took 14 hrs to get up to temp, but it was delicious!  Good Luck!

    QUICK HELP WITH A TURKEY

    I dont think you will have to cook that turkey too much longer.  I would keep cooking it until it reaches a temp of 165-170.  i would put it in the oven at 325 and cook it until it reaches that range.  This may also help to crisp up the skin too.

    Pork Butt Question

    Cool. Its about 8 lbs. Ive been cooking it at 225 degrees all day. I live in Wisconsin and its cool and rainy out so that could be the reason that it is taking a bit longer, but I have the smoker out of the cool rain.
