Hello everyone. I would like to appeal to the group for some advice, particularly to those of you who have food service experience. I have been asked to run a very small lunch table within a larger business where people can have a quick bite. The menu is going to be extremely limited but I...
Next time I'll definitely wait 24 hours before sealing, as well as watching the amount of smoke and keeping the temperature in check. I'm learning that I have a lot to learn. Thanks everyone.
Thanks fivetricks. I was not aware of this. Although I did allow the cheese to rest a bit after the smoke I'm pretty sure certain it was vacuum sealed within 8-10 hours.
thirdeye, yes the smoke was visible. In fact, it was quite heavy. The cheese did get a bit darker in color and there was some oil that had formed on the exterior. I did not sample the cheese after the smoke because I was under the impression that it should rest for at least two weeks before...
Hello everyone. I hope you are all staying safe during these crazy times. Back in late January I attempted my first cold smoke. For four hours I smoked cheddar and gouda cheese using apple wood chips in the Masterbuilt cold smoker attachment. After resting a bit the cheese was It was vacuum...

Hi Bear. I am using a Maverick Redi Chek and I have the internal temperature probe located on the middle rack, Using one of your recommendations, I did place a piece of piece of metal over the right side of the smoker to try and cook everything more evenly. As for the sun I would imagine it...
Good morning everyone. This morning I was preheating my MES40 to do some baby backs and my smoker was only able to reach 185 degrees when set at 275. My element appears to be in good working condition as I am getting a good red glow from it. I know with these units there are temperature...

I am an owner of a Gen. 1 40 inch Masterbuilt (20070311). I have had excellent success with it for five years but it is getting to a point...
