Once El Padre Jim opened a porthole on an odd looking trailer he had parked in a random parking lot in Columbus, Indiana. The trailer was a giant smoker. A pressurized gas burner jet periodically ignited and toasted a huge piece of glowing wood. On giant rotating racks in the belly of the beast were around 1000 pounds of habs. As I was peering in the only thing I could think of was Dante's Inferno, incarnate. carp
