Well, here you see my newest toy--It's called The Smoking Gun--apparently designed for restauranters to be able to smoke menu items at the table. It actually is quite fun, and am hoping I can smoke my cheeses as well. To begin, you insert wood chips in the enclave; then light. You then insert the hose into a plastic bag or closed container that holds the food item. Smoking for 3 minutes is recommended, which is the amount of time I smoked my Mozzarella. Nice smoke flavor. Still working with this new find to discern if it will work with my newly made Gouda--I'll keep you all in touch. It was $100.
