    resting time for gouda

    I have been smoking cheese for about 5 years now and I finely got around to gouda. I have a question about how long to let it rest. I let all my cheeses rest for 15 days except motz. So how long do you let gouda rest?

    Elk ribs

    Want to try some elk ribs in the smoker. Have any of you ever done this. I'm thinking just treat them like beef. But I'm concerned that they will turn out tough and dry.

    Glass top stove and cast iron

    Going to get a new stove. Is it safe to cook with cast iron on a glass top stove? Will it scratch the glass or maybe get to hot for the glass? Thanks for any help.

    How long before the can be eaten

    I am going to smoke some nuts for Christmas. How long should I wait after smoking before eating?. Are they like cheese and need to rest before eating? This is my first time doing the nuts. I don't want to serve something that my guests won't like. Thanks Charlie
