    Idea for the next showdown

    We don't have crawfish up here. Jimmy, I think it would end a little differently if the young one were to try that with our "crawfish". (Image not mine)

    Update. Today I pulled the bacon from the sugar equalization. I then patted it dry (no rinse), wrapped it in cheese cloth, tied it and put it in a shady spot on the deck to form it's pellicule overnight for smoking tomorrow. Over the next 4 days the temperature range will be 30-50 degrees with...
