    Smoking cheese

    Awesome !!!  I love the pepper jack as well. I also bought the "cheaper" grocery store brand pepper jack and it turned out great. Try some parmesan sometime.....it's also great.  Tony

    Disappointed with amount of smoke; bought a master built electric 40" added updated part sent by mas

    Those are good ideas....I have not tried either but both seem feasible to me. I am not sure if the chips would stay lit on their own or not. That would be interesting to know. Might just have to fire up my smoke generator to find out. Thanks for the ideas.  Tony

    Bob I haven't had the problem with mine sticking.....yet. I was just talking with my boss who has a MES 40 also. He said that on a long smoke he will open his smoke generator and use something to "punch down" his chips. I suppose mine might eventually start sticking. As long as there are no...

    Disappointed with amount of smoke; bought a master built electric 40" added updated part sent by mas

    Smoking cheese

    Awesome looking cheese !!! We are fortunate here in North Carolina to have a nice cheese smoking "season" if you would. If the temps are on the verge of being too warm to smoke you can always try putting a pan of ice in the bottom of the smoker since you are "cold smoking" the cheese anyway...
