Nice! Nice

      I have been looking into  bacon(pork/oink) smoking techniques..
Using off label approaches.....  Like two chamber Jotul wood stoves...in lieu of standard methodology(actual "store bought" smokers)
Yeah,  Some potatoes... and some Oink!... being smoked.... on that mannii.....(this must be tried)

Will get to the store right away for that sour cream container..... thumbs up...


Thanks,Monst
