Work has been driving me into the ground for the past year, but I'm here to fire up the smoker and get back at it this weekend.  I am smoking up a 10.16lb full brisket for the wife, some friends from...

    My local butcher shop is on fire.

    How horrible!  I hope everyone got out ok.  And they were probably well stocked for the weekend, so I'll bet you the loss is substantial.  I hope they can get back on their feet.
