Whats everybody smoking for Thanksgiving?

[Bridger Brisket]

My smoking for Thanksgiving has been done for a day or so.  Smoked Pepper Jack and Sharp Cheddar Cheese, A small Venison Ham, Summer Sausage and Smoked Almonds. They are all going with my father to the Party he is attending. I am gonna stay at home and make a pot of Pasta Sauce with Beef Neck Bones and Hot Italian Sausage and await the incoming waves of Turkey and Pie that always follow a Holiday for me  ;)
Thought about doing a Turkey breast or even a duck with the trimmings but I plan on watching football all day and hell, for me nothing in the world is better for a full day of Football than a home made pot of sauce over top of home made gnocchi  ;)

Bear, I'm planning on cold smoking some cheese this weekend for the first time.  Doing sharp cheddar, goat's cheese and mozzarella.  Planning on cutting into 4oz chunks.  I've read that it's best to vacuum pack and store for a couple weeks after smoking.  Any advice?

Sounds like you have a pretty good game plan so not really other than I leave mine shrink wrapped for about six week. Not sure if that does me any good or not. Pretty much the most important thing is to keep your case nice and cool. If you are not using a cold smoke adapter and you hit a warm day when you are smoking cheese, you may want to throw a pan of Ice in the smoker ABOVE the cheese........ Cold air falls and heat rises. Dang, my 5th grade Science Teacher would be soooo proud of me. He taught me that  ;) .... Maybe I should send him some cheese for Christmas   ;D
