    Not exactly a fridge / freezer. Still need advice.

    that thing look awsome. i know it will be a great smoker. i built a fridge smoker once it worked great all i did was go to the second hand store and bought a hot plate with a control knob for 5$. i just moved the temp controler to the outside and it worked like a charm.

    Question on Aging Smoked Cheese

    I will fill the kitchen sink with water then put the cheese into a ziplock bag, then put the ziplock bag into the water to force out all the air and zip the top before the water gets in. this works almost as good as a vac sealer
