Hi Ruth,

Good size then, you can do a lot with them.

This is the 3rd smoker we've had, besides the one he found in AZ and
abandoned after charcoalling everything he tried smoking. It was
abandonded the first time for good reason. (G) The first couple of
smokers were gas--trickier to get the temperature regulated than the
electric one we have now.

I believe the girls have. I know Deborah made apple butter a few years
back. I made some applesauce the year Deborah was born--got a nasty 2nd
degree steam burn on my hand from it. It was a bit of a challenge
changing diapers (cloth, with pins) with the hand bandaged up.
