hams or shoulders. Both heads are
taken out, and a suitable cover
provided for the top. This may be
of Boards, or an old oil cloth or
a tight Blanket with answer. A

the End of the stove pipe, in which
Made a pan of burning Cobs or Chips can
be placed. This is covered by a
Smoke tightly fitting plank. Over the
other end of the stove pipe, the
House barrel is placed, and the Earth
