Wow, great looking. Cheese does look perfect.

And that was piping hot straight out of the smokehouse for the slice for the pic.....drying the cheese in the fridge works great!

Sticks are down to 26% weight loss as of tonight. They lost about 20% once they cooled down from smoking yesterday. Should be dry in about 5 days or so...

 

[indaswamp]

Sticks are done today....40% weight loss.

Did not need to take them down to 45% because I pre-dried the cheese....

Big ole box of sticks!

Well first of all those look amazing!
I am curious about the reason for using beef fat instead of pork fat? Is this a dietary reason or due to flavor/texture/rancidity?

Thanks. Beef fat is for flavor. You could cetainly use pork fat.
