Yeah, those career Navy guys could be sticklers.  Why they even used to get
upset when I said I was going to the pointy end of the boat, or upstairs to the
sun deck.

I guess they never considered that people actually do maintenance on their
DB's.  So here's one, followed by one that might work for an ingredient.

      Title: Smoked Hamburger, Meat Balls, Chili, Hash, or Whatever..
 Categories: Smoked, Chili, Groundmeat, Beef
      Yield: 1 Servings

           Hamburgers, meat loaf, -
           Chili, hash, hamburger -
           Helper, or other

  Spread your ground beef or whatever in a shallow pan or on a fine
  screen and place into your smoker.  Smoke for 20 minutes to 2 hours.
  Hickory and Alder fuels are zippy... Apple is a bit more mellow.. and
  cherry will hit'em where it counts.  Take your pick.  Then use the
  smoke flavored hamburgers or whatever in your regular way.  Shorten
  your cooking time by 20-30%.  (Use cherry fuel when making chili; it
  really fits).

MMMMM
