    I got ahead of myself!

    Six pork shoulders now on smoke for 10 hours. The first three hit 205F and they are wrapped in foil and towels. The other three are coming up real fast! (I LOVE it when they go off "the stall"!)

    Including me! Now retired to Portland, we were 35 years in north Idaho until this year. I started smoking in a Little Chief years ago. When I started bringing more salmon and ducks home, I got a Big Chief but both soon found their way to the thrift store when I bought a CookShack electric. Like...
