Last month I smoked 5 lbs of cheddar and Monterey jack . Wrapped it in plastic and a Ip lock bag. Tasted it yesterday.. It tasted like an ash tray!! I used the 5x8 tray with pitmaster choice for 3 hours at like 45 degrees what did I do wrong?
I really can not answer that, as I have only done cheese 3 times. The piece you have leave it unwrapped over night see if it mellows Good LuckNo I didn't let it rest unwrapped. Am I screwed?

If I understand you correctly - you took the same cheese that tasted like an ashtray, unwrapped it and let it sit for a day, re-wrapped and a week later that same cheese is perfect?So fast forward I week I listened to Dave and joopster and the rest of the friends on this forum. I tasted the cheese this am and it is perfect!!!!
