    cold smoked belly smells like ashtray

    Stale smoke= smoke is moving to slow. More vents in at the top and in extremely cold weather add some heat with a few briquettes or a small propane burner on super low. This method will get rid of a moisture problem as well.

    Smoked Cheese - Batch Number One of 2018: White Cheddar

    Looks like it was border line too hot. I can see that the oils in the cheese started to surface. Keep the temp under 80 and that won't happen.

    First Time Cheese - Smoked, Rested, Still Not Good...Advice?

    Smoke 3 to 7 hours with cherry or apple pellets and love it the next day! You 8 to 10 weeks people crack me up! if you can't eat it the next day then you used the wrong wood.

    First Chicken Question

    Help from the Cheese people

    2 to 4 weeks- More bad advise. Thats ridicules and poor incorrect information.   Follow the simple rules and you will be eating your smoked cheese the next day. If you need to wait 4 weeks to eat some cheese you smoked then you screwed it up BAD! Keep your cheese under 80 degrees. Smoke your...

    Smoking with the "Griz" aka hawgrider. (Smoked Ice)

    Beginner Cheese Smoker

    The above cheese got way too hot . It almost melted. When you smoke most cheese above the 80 degree mark the texture of the cheese changes and the oils rise to the surface. In the short time I have been on this site I have seen a lot of bad advise on smoking cheese. For quality smoked cheese...

    smoked turkey legs

    From my own experience smoking turkey legs if you smoke them low and slow around 225 to 250 the skin will turn out like boot leather. If you want great smoked turkey legs smoke them at no less than 350 and closer to 400 for edible crisp skin. Just my opinion and worth exactly what you paid for it.

    Thats cool yeah they work great and nobody steals them. I'm suprised my pic are still up PB whacked them on 3 other of my forums. I couldn't get flicker to embed and host my pics. I tried with the free phone app so maybe that's the difference.
