do you get your cheese from the grocery store or butcher? Is there a special kind of cheese needed for this?

Cabot's white cheddar........mmmmmmmmmhhhhhhmmmmmmm. I buy it at Sam's Club in 2 pound bricks. Folks will line up at my door if they know I'm smoking cheese.
Looking good Rick!

I'm on day 9 waiting for mine. MAYBE I'll try one tomorrow. The waiting is difficult. Can you imagine what it's like waiting for many YEARS for balsamic vinegar?
Cabot cheese is the best by far. KY & Nepas - have you ever had any of their aged cheddars? Awesome!
Cabot here too...
On the two days a year I can smoke cheese.
:'( :o ;D

How do you like that Keurig, nepas? I've seen them around, but never heard from an actual owner.

I like it, went thru a box of caribu coffee already. So far way better than my Tassimo brewer was.

Squirt -
I'm on my second brewer. The first one died this summer after being used almost every day for 4 1/2 years.
Habs & Smokin Soon have one also.
I wouldn't ever go back to a regular coffee maker.

Cool, thanks for the positive feedback!
I've had coffee from one at a friend's house and found I had to make a small cup of coffee to get the strength I like. The coffee seemed pretty weak at the mug size. But, the cleanup is great - there isn't any.
I use a DeLonghi espresso/coffee machine. Set how fine you want the beans ground, the amount of water and the coffee dosage. I can make it the way I like it.

You have to try different kinds. I only drink the extra bold and/or dark blends and I never use the two larger size settings (I have 5) on my coffee maker.

Thanks. I'll give that a try the next time I'm over their house.
