Smoked three kinds last night

[jlh42581]

It was 42 here in pa. This was smoked with an amazn tube smoker, the small one, in my large smoker. Three hours of smoke a mix of Maple/Hickory/Cherry pellets.

1 lb of Mild Cheddar

1/2 lb of Muenster

1/2 lb of Pepper Jack

Unfortunately none of this will be aged long, its all christmas gifts. Its sitting in 95% sealed bags on the counter top. If you look close you can see my sealer, they will be sealed tonight.

That is some good lookin cheese, you got some good color on it.

The color ive found on two batches doesnt come out REALLY good till it sits for 24 hours in a 95% sealed bag on the counter. Then it looks even better.

Ive been hunting here in PA but not doing well. I do much better in archery season. 800,000 gun hunters is too many. Headed to Iowa 2015, will have enough points then. Maybe maryland next year or new york.

I made the mistake of bringing my smoked cheese to deer camp with 14 other hunters.......needless to say I didn't get much, but the praise was worth it.
