    Good info! I may have to turn the MES on this week just to bump the temps up towards 40 to get some draft going for cold smoking.

    Smoking soup bones?

    Hi all, my co-worker asked me if I could smoke some raw beef bones for soup/stock. He said his father used to smoke bones when he owned a butcher shop. I've tried searching the web and most of what I find is smoked bones for dog treats. I didn't find much in SMF either. Where to start? I...

    Peanut Butter Meltaways (Bear's Favorite Candy)

    Well Bear you've done it again. I wanted to make these last Christmas but never got to it, I said this year would be no excuses. The wife went out to get some baking supplies today so I requested the ingredients. So tonight while she was yakkin on the phone with her mother I made them. Well oops...

    Boss asked me to smoke some cheese

    Haha ok, ya it happens! I bet that would be real good topping a mac and cheese or in a fajita to moderate that bold flavour. Mmmmhhhmmmm

    Boss asked me to smoke some cheese

    Looks good from here, but do you always smoke for 8 hours? For my tastes anything over 3 hours gets oversmoked for me.

    How far in advance can I smoke cheese?

    Allen, you're a man of greater self control than me, to be able to keep smoked cheese around you for that long. I'll bet you are popular with friends and family. Good on ya.

    Don't have a vaccuum sealer but i'd like to smoke cheese for the first time...Will plastic wrap work

    Plastic wrap will be fine if you plan on eating it within a month or so. It will easily get you through the mellowing stage. Before I got my vacuum sealer my cheese would start to mold right around the 2 month mark.

    13 pounds in the MES

    The easiest way to explain would be to do a search on here for it. there are dozens of threads and tutorials, etc. Unless it is very cold to start out with, cold smoking with your AMNPS inside the MES will eventually raise the temp enough to start melting cheese. You will likely want to start...

    How far in advance can I smoke cheese?

    If it was me doing it, I would seal them separately for each person you plan on gifting, unless you plan on giving a couple hunks to each person then seal them all in one bag. I still wouldn't plastic wrap them, doesn't look as nice I think. It won't last very long in just plastic wrap before...

    How far in advance can I smoke cheese?

    Do it now, it only gets better with age. I smoked all my gift cheese last week. Do you mean you are going to plastic wrap AND vac seal your cheese? You will be fine just vacuum sealing it, no need to double wrap.

    Thanksgiving Smoking....in over my head!

    I don't think I caught what type of smoker you are using? I smoke pigs and birds differently so that's why I suggested doing them separately. But if you have the room and your family likes their turkey cold go for it all at once.
