    Looking for some help

    Greetings everyone.  I have been cooking whole hog for about 12 years now using various "La China" boxes that I have bought and or built.  Two years ago my wife bought me a vertical smoker from Home Depot that I have really enjoyed using.  In fact I enjoyed it so much that I am embarking on a...
