    Cheese Stuffed Jalapeno Meatballs (modified)

    Next time I stray way off course from a recipe, I will try to remember to take pix as I go.  My meatballs looked exactly like Jeff's only larger.  It is really to bad in this medium we can not trade aromas and tastes along with photo's.

    Cedar smokehouse construction

    My smokehouse Pix.  If I had a do over, I would make the fire box a little larger. Have eliminated some of the smoke leakage around the lift up fire box access door with additional gasket.  Smoke stains are from early usage.
