    Ham is pork, so is bacon...

    I've double smoked store bought hams for all occasions for the last 15 years, and I've tried numerous variations of wood, injections, basting, etc. But this year, a 9 lb. Sugarland Smoked (unknown wood, probably hickory.oak blend) meets 1 lb of Hatfield Applewood Smoked bacon! I put my fatty...

    It's going to get warm soon, so cheese season is getting ready to close.

    5 hours of smoke! The wine barrel pellets smelled great and really threw off some smoke which led to great color.  Now the hard part... letting everything mellow for 2 weeks.

    Shredded Cheese

    I did a 2 hour smoke with pellets (AMNPS) and ice in the water pan. It's pretty strong, but then I'm using it in Mac And Cheese with bacon, so the bacon is just a smoky. Next time, I'm going to cut back to an hour. Oh, I use the pizza pans to do it too.

    Taking a 2nd crack at this cheese thing!

    You have to let the cheese rest for a while. 2 weeks is the minimum, I usually go a month. I opened a pack that I did 6 months ago last weekend, and it was even better than it was when it was a month old.
