QuotePens, you've got a LOAD to smoke.
yea and I also picked up a couple pounds of pistachios to do.

Rick, the block of garlic cheese cost $23.00. $4.60/lb.

YIKES :D

I will more than likely get some.

Got 4 more to smoke up tomorrow.

5 pounds of gouda and 4 pounds of white cheddar smoked for 3 hours and vac sealed away today. Man, this retirement life is rough! ;) Got 3 pastrami flats to smoke this weekend and Jan just told me she is needing some smoked salmon too. (Oh, OK if you really want me to :D) WooHoo!

Actually used the Special Blend on the cheese because it was easy to get to. Have never used it before and had some given to me so I thought what the heck. I will say it laid more color on the cheese than I have ever been able to obtain before. Tower temp never got beyond 72 degrees.

Pastrami will definitely be hickory smoked. May hit the salmon with alder if I use the Bradley. If I go with MAK it's hickory baby!

If your needing a new motor to pull a better seal I have my unit yet. Or I could get your unit and get the sealing strip out of it and I would have one again. Bottom right chunk doesn't look like it sucked in real tight for you so I guessed

I was looking at that one but it is sealed, maybe just the way the pic is. Just seems to take longer to pull the vac.
