    CHEESE SMOKING ADVICE

    I use the AMNPS and go for 2 hours.  I haven't been disapointed yet! I've used oak, hickory, and apple and a mix of the above.  Loved 'em all.  So far our favorite cheese has been the colby-jack. Forgot to mention that with outside temps below 40 I don't get much color on the cheese unless I...

    Pellicle - It eludes me!

    Pastrami ?'s NOW WITH PICS!

    OK, she spent 3.5 hours in her warm traeger sauna and I stuck the probe in.  It read 160. It took a total of 7.25 hours to hit 190.  That's when I ended up pulling it.  It was 27 degrees in my garage and isn't suppose to get above 35 today so I covered it with foil and will let it sit till I...
