    I didn't really put much thought about it ..  One for sure I will because the bone end looks a little  shabby but the other I may go ahead and try it without and see what happens .. It sure is handy when I am out working in the yard to just check the chip box or set up the AMN2 and be cooking...

    Rainy Day Cheese.

    mine stayed around 60 when I did it .. seemed like a perfect temp .. tho the pieces that sweated a bit more seemed to suck up the smoke a little more   those were the pieces that were directly above the AMN2 .. thats why after 2 hours I rotated .. and flipped them

    Rainy Day Cheese.

    DDT I actually read your thread and it looked like you had a good smoke on your cheeses .. Did you let them age the 2 weeks .. and did you try it after you smoked it to make sure you had enough smoke on it ? I know I was a little nervous that mine wouldn't come out right .. but it did .. I tried...

    Better late than never...My first batches of jerky, w/Q-view

    Yes I would be nervous about it especially .. if it were game meat .. quality of the meat itself is up to the the hunk they hand over to you ..
