Here's a little video on how to sharpen your knives and plates for your grinder.
Many years ago I was at Michlitch Spokane Spice Company picking up some supplies. A couple of guys came in with their dad's grinder plates and knives and asked how much to sharpen them, I can't recall but it was ridiculous and they said they couldn't afford that.
So I followed them outside and told them to get a piece of glass plate about 1/4" thick and to use the sandpaper. They didn't think that it would work and I said trust me. I gave them my phone number and to try it and to call me with the results. They called a few days later and couldn't believe how easy it was.
Anyway, I hope this will help some of the guys out there. It's got a bit of B.S. in it but it's good information.
Enjoy!

Looks like it is the time of the year for cold smoking.
33'F here.
3 pounds of mild cheddar and 1 pound of string cheese inside.

I agree with the sharpening video but I like to keep my plates and knives as a matched pair to have them wear together. This is my opinion makes them last longer.
This is easier said than done with multiple people using multiple sets which happens around here.

About 1 hour in and 52'F chamber temp.
I am thinking about opening it up a bit as the smoke is pretty dense.
Any thoughts?
Can I smoke it to fast or if the smoke is dense or
just a shorter time?

I usually do two or three hours, air flow seems good.
Some of my best cheese was on my drum smoker using an old towel as a lid. I used a smoke tube as the smoke source. The towel was not covering the whole top.

At 2.75 hrs when I checked it the smoke had ran out.
The string cheese is a little bitter and tough on the outer layer now but I will have to put it away in the refigerator for at least 10 days to see how it mellows.
Have patience Tim!

Timmy has the best ideas!
6 pounds of Sharp Cheese cut in half. 6 pounds of Pepper Jack Cut in half and 6 pounds of Colby Jack cut in half.
I loaded up a smoke tube which will smoke for about 3 1/2 to 4 hours with the damper wide open. I'll wrap it up and wait till Christmas to divvy it up between the kids for their presents.Our house is as Neil left it- an Aladdins cave of 'stuff'.

All this cheese talk was getting to me. I am blaming Tim.
I bought a two pound block of colby last night, and dug up my smoke generator. I have no idea where my smoke tube is. It will turn up eventually, probably when I am not looking for it.
