I took the ECB out of retirement

Since there were some ribs going on the MES, I thought I would try using the AMPNS in my El Cheapo Brinkmann.  When I went to the store, I found Kraft cheese blocks on sale for $1.88.  How about that!

After 2 hours with Peach dust

The only part that took on any color was the Mozzarella block directly above the AMPNS

I decided to put them in the MES the next day with some apple dust for another 2 hours.  They didn't seem to take on much more color then.  Hmm, oh well.  I'm sure they will be tasty.  I didn't take any more pictures the second time around though.

What store? I will have to stop tomorrow.
I usually smoke with apple on cheese, maybe run pecan next time.

Your cheese will be just fine. Try to mellow for as long as you can stand it. It's tuff I know but at least 3 weeks. Mine usually don't take on much color(pending on wood). I usually like around 2-2.5 hours.

It was Meijer.  The weekly ad ended yesterday(the day I purchased.)

I've been doing batches every weekend since the 9th.  I have yet to sample any from that first batch.  I will try it after 4 weeks.
