I'm sure you will get all the kinks ironed out (after the butchering and berrying is done). :-)Sue Frelickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13150735651127251014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023803000478958088.post-54578463599902730382013-08-03T07:31:48.108-04:002013-08-03T07:31:48.108-04:00It was almost like a shell had formed around the o...It was almost like a shell had formed around the outside of the roast. It wasn't very thick, just 2 or 3 milometers, so not a lot of waste.<br /><br />Bears are known to knock over BBQs, climb trees for coolers and camping supplies, etc. They have excellent memories, so once they know there's an easy food source they keep coming back. I'd rather not tempt fate, lol.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11557512606416161272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023803000478958088.post-48675505820178163732013-08-02T19:50:33.191-04:002013-08-02T19:50:33.191-04:00I have no idea how a smoker works.

I love the overcooked part of a roast, but apparently yours went far beyond even my taste for hard, dry meat. I'm with you about the berries in the woods. Don't you think the heat from the fire would keep the smoker hot enough to deter wildlife? I can hear bears howling after trying to open the hot smoker...lol. You all would be humans they steered clear of. It would be nice to have a smoker for summer cooking. Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.com
