Smoking Some Cheese

KyNola · October 27, 2009, 04:07:43 PM

10.5,
Here is where I have a definite wife advantage over you. When I'm smoking anything my wife is right beside me helping along the way. She knows about curing meat. She knows about proper trimming. She knows about the 10 day wait on cheese. She doesn't touch either machine. Not because I don't think she can't do it but because she leaves that part to me. Other than that part, she is right there every step of the way. Saves a lot of those conversations you just posted. Besides we don't have kids so it's something we enjoy doing together.

All that cheese looks mighty good. I really like the MJ, all of them.

Your wife kinda sounds like mine, almost word for word. :D

I think they are clones of "Chatty Cathy".......you pull the string and they alllllll sound alike.

10.5 That is a bunch of cheese, and looks great. If my temp ever gets low enough, I will be smoking some.

Ky, you must be a very lucky man - or a liar ;D

My wife is right behind me saying "Close the damn deck door. The smoke is coming in the house!"
She knows about curing meat.
My wife gets pre-packaged bologna.
She knows about proper trimming.
I can't get mine to trim my hair.
She knows about the 10 day wait on cheese.
Well, I label it with "Poisonous if eaten before ..."
She doesn't touch either machine.
I only have one machine. She said "It's raining out and you didn't cover that thing."
Not because I don't think she can't do it but because she leaves that part to me. Other than that part, she is right there every step of the way.
As I said, lucky man.

We have two kids, out of the house, finally. Now, they just stop by every week looking for food and money.

I'm happy for you Ky.

Well CRG, if it doesn't cool down, load that smoker up and head my way. I can hook ya up with lots of good cheese and I even have an outlet you can use to smoke it! Heck, leave the smoker home, you can use mine. ;D

My wife is behind me yelling thru the door. She thinks curing meat is something they did in the early Bible days. Only thing she can trim proper is her finger nails, and someone else does that. If she had to wait 10 days on anything she would get in her car and go get it. She does not touch my machines, nor hers (vac, dishwasher, washing, etc). She knows she can't do it and never wanted to try. Other than that, she's right there naggin grippin. And we have too much conversation.

Fun begins for me on the 19th after work....will probably be wandering past your place sometime around 6am, unless I decide to stop by a buddies place in black river falls for a late breakfast, then I probably wont make it up to Glidden until late afternoon. Its about 11 hours for me with a stop in Kenosha for a couple of hours, but for some reason it always take about 18 or 19 with a few stops..... ;D gotta stop at the cheese place, buddy likes to stop at the casino, gotta stop for food.....

so at 63 degrees how long do you apply the smoke to the cheese ?

classicrockgriller · October 27, 2009, 08:12:44 PM

SIA, you hunt that far from home?

smokeitall · October 27, 2009, 08:13:22 PM

I grew up in Wisconsin and lived there the first 25 years of my life. So I go back every year and hunt with family. Its a big money and time investment when I can hunt 40 minutes from my house or down with BigJohnT but its worth it to go up and spend 9 days with family and friends (most of which I would probably only see every 5 years at the family reunion otherwise). I also like to go up and help by FIL since he is getting older. Of course is not like the ba-zillion days you get to go hunting ;D ;D
