One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It is simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been so credulous.

Spent last night smoking an 8.5lb shoulder… went in at midnight, came out at 3:30pm. It’s delicious, but here’s some tips to avoid frustration-
#1. Don’t fall asleep for too long. Sounds obvious, but if you conk out for 3 hours, so do the coals. Go ahead and add 3 hours to your cook time.
#2. All lump charcoal is not created equal. The Crapford lump I used was crap… it didn’t burn well- uneven and cold. Didn’t help that it had been damp outside where it’s stored.
Anyway- cheers!

I logged 400 miles today driving from Kalispell to Ronan, back to Kalispell then on to Cut Bank and back to Kalispell. After all that driving, I can say Glacier National Park is a treasure. Even with heavy cloud cover, the park was one of the most beautiful places I’ve seen in a long time.
