I’m not familiar with this process. What do you do with the cheese when you are finished with it on the grill? No way you can eat it all in 1 sitting. Store it in refrigerator or freezer? Chuck

After smoking, you really need to wrap it up or vaccuum pack it, and store it in the fridge for 2 weeks to a month or so to mellow. If you ate it right now, it would be similar to eating a cheesy ash tray.

Yes, I think that's the same one. Hwy 97 runs north-south across central Oregon from the Dalles and joins I-5 at Weed, CA. They built a bridge over the narrow canyon in 1926. Later, it couldn't handle the traffic so they built a newer one about 100 yards downstream. Now the first one is a pedestrian site seeing spot. This isn't my photo but you can see the two bridges and the canyon below . Smith Rock would be upstream (east) from these bridges, several miles.

It's a rare day you get one clear enough to see that entire span of the Cascades, but it does happen.

yep that is the one. we stopped there a few years ago and read the story about the wagons. cutting across Ore. and finding that obstacle would slow you down.
It was about 5:30 one cold clear windy fall morning. have spent my life in area I know how rare it was. amazing view of the cascades. eastern oregon has a lot to offer if you like wide open spaces. the south east part of state is one of the least populated in CONUS. Gret drive from SE corner to Maheur ?? refuge. almost100 miles and not one car.

If the trees weren't in the picture, and if the cliff sides were a little redder, this picture could be mistaken as the crossing of the Colorado River at Marble Canyon in northern Arizona near the beginning of the Grand Canyon. It has two bridges like this picture. ............ Jerry (in Tucson)

Exactly. Vacuum sealed all of it and will open one of them around new years to test, but I'm expecting a minimum of 3 weeks until it's ready. The smoke layer plus vacuum seal keeps any mold from growing and it will last a very long time.

My next foodie experiment will be making some Lomo curado. Spanish style cured, seasoned and dried pork loin. With the use of dry age bags you can now create some of the specialty dried "charcuterie" meats right in your refrigerator.

A Jet bandsaw corner at the right bottom section with at least 10 different sawdust layers.

So close - a Rikon bandsaw. From bottom to top: chittum, FBE, YCB, Aspen, walnut, chinaberry.

Well, I have a Rikon also, but the paint on the corner you posted looks kinda like it's on cast iron because of all the little tiny bumps on it. I checked mine, and the paint is textured just like yours.
When I first saw this picture, it looked like a towel/washcloth in a corner until further investigation that proved me wrong on both the content and the brand. ........... Jerry (in Tucson)
 
Working early this morning checking waterfowl hunters. Love my job. All this and a paycheck too. It's great to be out seeing Gods creation coming alive on a cool crisp morning.
