Ha, ha, ha, ha. I see you slipped a pinch of kosher salt in there! Ha, ha, ha! Often it's the other way around: Some mazik ('angelic troublemaker') will slip a bit of pork into the chollent!... Chollent is a beans, potatoes, meat, carrots, onions combo which has stewed/cooked for almost 24 hours when served hot (and delicious) at a Sabbath lunch. Thanks for the chuckle, Jeff!!

That is kind of funny! Our box of kosher is coarser than the pickling, wasn't really thinking that one through, eh? Take my recipes with a grain of salt, as they say!

I bought a large upright pellet smoker and have been so happy with it. We do large gatherings from time to time, and I can really load it up. The hopper is large enough to hold 8+ hours of activity, so it is easy to start it at night, and not have to check constantly.
