Of course not! 

But it's fun, isn't it? Simon really enjoyed it as a sort of hobby, and his smoked garlic was to die for - at least we thought so. Smoking is like baking - I have never done either. 

Haha - yes indeed, I was a smoker for 36 years. No doubt it will catch up with me some day. 

I guess HFW could have made a smoker contraption out of most anything. Fiona did it using a chiminea and also the flue of the wood burning stove in her kitchen, It's not rocket science technology is it? 

My favourite was the commercial smoking enterprise in Orford - a lovely little village to visit. In fact, one of the best things about Suffolk is it coastal towns and villages.
