cfarmer,

If you can't get your order in on time, just send Todd a PM and let him know your situation. He gave me a little break last Christmas when I ordered a AMNPS for my brother a few days after the sale had ended. He'll do whatever he can to work with you, which is why he is so revered on SMF.
 
Thanks, just trying to decide on which one now.
 
Well I know you need to wait 2 weeks before using the cheese but the wife needed cheese for pizza. Used the white cheddar, it was very good. Can't wait for it to age good. Its going to be hard.
 
That's why you need to stock up and always keep ahead! 

I have about 8lbs in the fridge right now and just saw that Krogers has cheese on sale tomorrow for $2.99/lb so I'm going to add at least 5lbs more to my stockpile!

Remember I just started smoking cheese. I think next weekend more is going to be smoked.

Be careful you might get hooked (like I did) and never want un-smoked cheese again!!!

Is that a pizza stone in that pic? I've never seen one like that, looks interesting!
 
Yea its pampered chief. The wife has alot of stone pans. I am already hooked.
 
It is flat but the handles are raised.
 
Hard Cheese takes a couple weeks to mellow, but Mozzarella is good the same day or the next

I had trouble too and I ended up pulling the chip loaded out completely, open the vent all the open and the chip tray out 2 inches. You need to have a good draft. Since it was only like 30 degrees here I also had to warm the mes up some. Call Todd, he is a great guy.
 
Got my pellet smoker today. Gonna try it this weekend on some burgers.
 
I feel your pain.  I recently purchased the AMPNS pellet/dust smoke generator.  I couldn't get that thing going properly until the third smoke attempt.  I look forward to the weekend as I think I have it down now.  But the first two tests made me worry about my purchase.  I'll keep you posted.

My problem seems to be that I didn't get a big enough ember going initially.  Just be sure to get that thing smoking steadily before starting your cook and ensure good ventilation.

Just my two cents worth. I do a fair amount of cheese smoking in cold weather around here. I found out right away at cold temps the air density will not let the MES 40 draft properly. Adding an elbow to the exhaust vent straightened mine out. Also, at colder temps the cheese will not take on alot of color, but it will still take smoke so go by time not color. Happy smokin!

I'm trying mine for the first time as I type in my MES.
I lit it once....it went out about twenty minutes later.
Took the chip loader out, moved the ash tray out a inch or two......
Been smokin like Willie on 4/20 ever since.
Todd Johnson at amazenproducts.com has truly lived up to his products name.
From what I see and read on here,he seems like a great guy too!
Thanks Todd for throwing in the pellets,it was a nice surprise.
