Hello Everyone, A few weeks ago I decided to purchase a Pit Barrel Cooker.  After researching various smokers/pits within my allotted budget it came out the winner by a narrow margin over the WSM 18".  The tipping point was the amount of food I could cook on it for the footprint I had to use it...

Hello Everyone, I got a really nice deal on Bone in Turkey breast at the local market so I decided to try my hand at Smoking one. I had never tried this before, so I was not sure how it would go. I read a lot of threads looking for advice and they all seem to agree on 1 thing....brine the...

Hello Everyone, I was able to control myself and wait for almost 4 weeks to open my first smoked cheese batch up. I was very please with the results. A very nice smoke flavor throughout both the Mozzarella and Cheddar. I found that it was better to let the cheeses breathe for about a half...

Those look great. I am finding that waiting is the hardest part. What kind of wood "flavor" did you use? Darren

Thank you Dirtsailor and Gary for the Comments. I will post the final results in a few weeks when I actually cut the cheese.....wait, no.....For now, I need to figure out what I am going to smoke this weekend. Darren

Hello Everyone, A couple days ago, I purchased an AMNPTS with the main intent of cold smoking. When the opportunity presented itself to try it out I figured I would give Cheese a go. It was a lovely cloudy 62 degree evening after an all day rain. I had an 8oz block of Mozzerella and an 8oz...

Hello Everyone, I stumbled on this site a few days ago while doing research for a new smoker. I am relatively new to the smoking world (less than 2 Years). My first and only smoker to date is a Mini-WSM that I built 2 summers ago, although today I just bought an A-MAZE-N 12" pellet Tube Smoke...
