Nice color on your cheese rigget. The maple and hickory sounds tasty.  How long did you smoke it?  Two-three weeks and you will be wanting more.

Great looking cheese, remember to let the "age" for a couple of weeks - they really do get better as they sit!!  Well done!

How did your maple do on AMNPS. My maple pellets would go out and put in oven and still  went out.  These pellets are pushing me into doing  my own stuff, Wood piped into smoker.
