Smoke Em If You Got Em!

As you all know, I'm a big fan of meat in a tube. In general, I'm just a big fan of meat - a carnivore at heart. Oh, I like vegetarians too. They taste good. About the only thing I can't stomach is liver. I've tried since I was a youngster, and I have this problem of involuntarily ejecting it from my body. So, I'll leave that little delicacy to other carnies who cherish the organ. But lately, my new hobby has been sausage making. Keep in mind, I'm still a novice, but my first attempt at Italian sausage has been a smashing success. I've tried another recipe for an Italian lunch meat, known as mortadella. It too was rather tasty, but I need to work on the texture and consistency. There is a guy I work with, from the Czech Republic, and he has enjoyed smoked sausage from an early age, since they smoked their own meats. So I have been talking, and planning, and designing, a smokehouse. I may have the means soon to fulfill this recent dream. Between him and I, I think we've come up with a good design. I can almost smell the aroma as I type. I not only want to smoke sausage, but also brisket, chicken, fish, a turkey would be the 'bomb'! You can even smoke veggies. Smoked chile peppers are known as "chipotle". I saw on TV, you can open a can of plain old baked beans, put them in the smoker, and viola! An added dimension to your potential flatulents! To get this project underway, I'm going to pick up an old wood burning stove this weekend. So my whole design is going to be built around this stove. I hope it works, for you all shall reap the benefits! I have a feeling, when this is completely up and running, or rather, smoking, I'm going to finally be the 'popular' kid on the block.
