Hi All:
I wandered down the wrong isle at Sam's and ended up with a bunch of cheese. The temps in Florida have dropped a little and today was only going to be in the low 80's so I thought I could smoke some cheese (see first sentence) and put on a tray of paprika. I put it on at 10:30 AM and figured 3 hours with just the smoke tube would be good. I am sure it would have been. When I realized that it was 3:30 PM I ran to the smoker, opened the cover and said some bad words. Overall there was no loss other than the paprika. I scraped the cheddar from the mats and salvaged the "hangings" from the underside. Most of it had dropped to the paprika below. I thought, no problem. This could be a good combination to make some other things (melted over veggies).
Everything is vacuum sealed for at least 30 days. I hope it is not too smoked.
