    General Smokehouse Questions

    I am considering building a small smokehouse in the backyard. I have a nice spot for it and I think it will look great there and get me away from the house. The smoke from my ECB gets towards the house sometimes and we get smoke inside. Not that it bothers me, of course.  My question related to...

    TBS in the air! Fatties on! Now with Pork Shoulders!

    That's right folks. It has rained almost all day long. My golf foursome was cancelled when the golf course closed. So I made a couple fatties and fired up the ECB. The rain has let up enough for me to even grab my chair and an iced tea and I'm relaxing to the thin blue smoke. The ECB is cruising...

    A (pretty sweet) Fall Day in New England!

    Once upon a time, the RED SOX were riding in Duck Boats and all was right in the world!  As a transplant from Cincinnati and a serious baseball fan, I am very much enjoying seeing the Red Sox back as World Champs. What a season and what a year... (Though I will never forget '76). I must admit...
