What are they charging for that stuff in Michigan? I live 40ish miles from the factory and we can get it for $8.99 for the big bricks

MS, Nice color on your cheese, looks like  great batch !

 

[johnmeyer]

How long did you smoke it?

 

[dabigbozman]

I usually do 3 1/2 -4 1/2 hrs and flip it every 45min. The black label extra sharp cheddar is the best, I have family members that will drop,off 2 bricks at my house. I get to keep one for every brick I smoke, they usually get opened within a week and disappear quickly. I stashed one at my moms place in the back of her fridge 3 months ago. Gonna open it up this weekend

This batch got just about 7 hrs...it varies for me but I told my wife I have a feeling that this will be my best batch to date...time will tell.

Yeah everyone who eats this is crazy about it & I always get the how do you smoke cheese questions...my response is always the same...it is really complicated.

I figure smoking teaches you a Zen-like patience. Now I remain placid when She Who Must Be Obeyed is nattering at me.
