The sweet aroma of....

[cityevader]

smoldering Cherry wood sawdust. It's an amazingly relaxing bouquet. I recently moved my smoker from downstairs patio to main floor's balcony, and tonight has finally been cool enough to open up the windows early. As it so happens, I've got three blocks of sharp cheddar in my UDS smoker, with a homemade metal-mesh-maze filled with cherry sawdust at the windward door. It's like a sweet incense, not "smoky" at all, very pleasant, very relaxing, and doesn't invoke any sort of "fireplace memories", nor any bbq memories....hopefully it will create new memories of a cool summer evening out on the balconey, surfing CPF and thesmokering.com on the laptop, breeze through the hair...nice!
Smoked cheese anyone?

Wow - love it. Sounds, and I imagine, smells really nice. But does it invoke Jr. High woodshop memories? :)

Honestly though, sounds great - thanks for the window on your nice summer evening. Makes me want a smoker.

They can be built for nearly free out of a barrell; as simple or fancy as you want. Here's a link to the first one i built: http://thesmokering.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=32207&highlight=

That is a really cool diy. What other foodstuffs do you run through your smoker?

Several turkeys, many pork shoulders (for pulled pork), ribs, chicken, salmon, beef jerky, and cheese. My next "experiment" is mac 'n cheese. Everyone who's done it says you'll never go back to regular again.

This thread makes me drool and wish summer would come faster as its winter here and very cold....:(

Reading this made me think of the smell of cherry pipe tobacco. Smelled much better than it tasted.

oooooo, that IS one of my favorite smells. Can't believe how something that starts out smelling so nice ends up so raunchy!

Interesting how people from all over the world can be joined together via forums. I love it!

My only ever experience of smkoing (if you can it that) was to recently throw some wet smoking chips on to the coals of a spit....

I am currently sitting on the 31st floor and all I can see is mist and rain. Bring on summer, the long days and lots of bbq's! :party:
