Welcome to HBT. Have you considered entering http://montrealers.ca/competition.htm this year.

[QUOT I can't say no to a smoked Swiss or smoked Gouda either. I love smoked cheese and smoked gouda in particular Last weekend, I smoked a couple blocks of american cheddar. Had a hard time getting it lit, lol.

I did baby backs yesterday and will finish the rack off tonight. Also did some cheddar on the smoker.

I ruined one like it that way when I first started using them, even though I read the instructions saying not to get them wet.
