    Cheese smoke from the other night

    Yet another smokehouse build

    Day one is over and starting to look like something. Going to be all cedar except for the bottom and roof. Plan on using 1/2" plywood for those. Going to line the bottom with firebrick.

    Smoke for today

    Got a small batch of some nice cheese going in for some cherry. Super excited about the Stilton, but I am sure it's all going to be incredibly good. Really loving this forum.

No electric, just my AMNTS with cherry and apple. Today I did alder but at 3 hours there was almost no color, and a quick taste had almost no...

    New here, from Washington state

    Hola, I have been dabbling in smoking for a while. Never really spent a lot of time doing it, but that is changing. I started off with a cheapy chargriller offset and added a big chief that I gutted and added a 1000w element and pid controller, along with a AMNTS. My thinking was the stock...
