I can tell you from past experience that I could only wait long enough for the cheese to get cold again before I had a sample. Wait it never got warm!! I need a food sealer it is just two easy to unwrap a block of cheese in plastic wrap. Looks good for a first cheese smoke. If you can wait for atleast 5 days of the 10 you will be rewarded though Nepas

Looks good, Neepers! Hold on as long as you can. I just gave a buddy a block of cheddar I did in November (I had it hidden) and he called me yesterday wanting to know where he could buy some. Said he took down the entire 1 pound block in one setting. Said the smoke infusion was incredible throughout every bite. I still have a block of horseradish cheese from November waiting in there with my name all over it. One day when the kids are at school and Momma is at work....I'm taking that bad boy down!

:o I'm shocked, I would have never guess you were a cheese virgin. ;D ;D ;D

Looks good.
I'm trying to save some smoked x-sharp NY cheddar to bring to the smokeout along with a couple more goodies. I just have to think of them first. :D
