Smoked 16 blocks of sharp cheddar last night to give out as Christmas gifts. They should be ready to eat on New Year's Day.

Used the dryer vent method and directed the smoke from the mini to the large. Worked nicely!

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    That looks great!

    @Dyal_SC - how are you connecting the dryer vent tube to the lower draft on the LBGE? Duct tape? How long did you smoke it? Any particular temp on the fire in the mini?

    Thx y'all! @minniemoh‌ , I attached it with a tiny bit of duct tape and shop rags around that. The hose was warm around the base at the mini's exhaust, but cool at the damper of the large. The duct tape left no residue. I attached the hose to the mini with a cable strap. Worked well! Smoked the cheese for about two hours with occasionally tossing in some chips in the mini. The mini stayed around 350 deg f dome temp the entire time. No heat seemed to reach the large. I kept the mini and large indirect with stones in place for the purpose of keeping the temp as low as possible in the large's dome. No heat at all seemed to reach the cheese.
