Watchin' football and smokin' some cheese...virgin run!

[hagisan]

As the title states, I'm going for my 1st run of cheese.  Curing the amns on the gas grill.  Picked up some cheese during a beer run.  The smoker is small.

39F here in Sac and the smoker is still cool to the touch...I hope this turn out.

AMNS working like a champ as far as I am concerned.  Had to nuke the sawdust because I stored in the garage.  My youngest son came in the kitchen and asked why I was nuking sawdust.  I said it's what's' for dinner.  Gettin' our fiber on!

So, I fell asleep in my chair.  My youngest son wakes me up and says, "Dad, I think the smoke stopped."  I jump out of the chair to find the amns just about to go out.  Talk about perfect timing.

The cheese was on the smoker for a little over 4 1/2 hours with maple.  Took it in and sealed it up and put in the outside fridge.  Now the wait...I hate waiting...especially for food.
