Thanks Justin! It's greatly appreciated! Since I finished that up as my appetizer for tonight's supper I'm now eyeing the chicken in a biskit and easy cheese as my next course!Awesome Ryan… I love the variety, everything looks top notch my friend! BTW, your snack was by far a fav as a kid growing up! I could devour that stuff!

Thank you! Definitely an odd winter so far! Had one snowstorm but that all melted. Broke records here today...was 48 degrees, old record was 43 I think. Wednesday high of 14 with 40 mph north winds.Nice batch of goods Ryan. Yes, jealous of the bare fields. Won't see them until about mid April here.
Thank you Bear! I appreciate it! And thanks for the like!All looks Mighty Tasty to me, but I'm easy---I'm a Hungry Bear !!

Everything looks delicious!
Al
Thanks Keith! I just mentioned to Al that he's invited to come up...you could road trip with him! Lol!Wow everything looks great Ryan ! Raw meat and crackers.....?
Wish it got cold enough here for a cheese smoke. I'm watching my calories too. Trying to get them all out front where I can see them
Thanks for the mention and maybe we can have a Championship Game contest ??
my wife told me I didn't have to smoke everything...I just looked at her and laughed, gotta at least try it!

When I was smoking the snack mix my wife told me I didn't have to smoke everything...I just looked at her and laughed, gotta at least try it!
Well we were getting low on some smoked cheese and after a week long rat race to get end of the year stuff taken care of it was also time to relax and cross a couple things off the need to try list! The nice thing about Iowa in January...perfect cheese smoking weather!

Not a wide variety but needed more cheddar and mozzarella smoked, and added some Muenster cheese as well. Also heard how good Kerry gold butter is smoked so... why not?

To go along in the smoke... a tray of paprika.
View attachment 520894
Temps ran about 72 degrees F and would drop to about 56 when I opened door to stir paprika every 30 minutes. Nice tbs coming out

Used apple in amnps and about 4 1/2 hours smoke time. Let rest in fridge overnight... dang did it smell good!

Of course with all the smoked cream cheese going on it was time to give it a go also. Did two blocks, used two new rubs my friend Keith 912smoker sent to us.

Haven't had them very long but they are both great! The steak seasoning is prolly 1/4 gone already.

This turned out amazing! And was really good with some pepper jelly on a cracker

Of course being new years weekend I had to have snacks while waiting on the smoker...so ground round on saltiness with onion, salt and pepper

And last but not least ... TulsaJeff recipe for smoked trail mix! After he forcefully made me watch this video over and over...JK! But saw it and had to make it.
View attachment 520901
Added 1 tbsp of cholula hot sauce. Jeff's recipe said 2 to 4 tbsp but had never tried it before so went light. And the finished pic

It turned out really good! Thanks Jeff!
I feel a little bad cuz I never watched the peach dump cake video, so can't make it. I think it was @SmokinVOLfan that mentioned he could make it with his eyes closed . Best I could do was I peach booze (peach dump cake for the chewing impaired)! These lovely marinated peaches you could dump down your throat. But highly suggest no driving after consuming!
