Howdy JT. Couldn't resist a quick related story for a grin or two
One year during a smoker lighting contest at a meeting in
Tennessee in a hotel parking lot, someone saw clouds of smoke and sent out
a firetruck to investigate. I can't remember if the firefighters judged
the winner in the contest or not, but it was a hoot. I do seem to
remember the truck left with a few jars of sweetness for their trouble.
