Smokehouse fire `best-smelling in long time'
Firefighters in western Pa. managed to save 200 pounds of Polish sausage from what they're calling the best-smelling fire they've doused in years.
The New Castle News reports that firefighters responded about 11:30 a.m. Monday when a 20-by-20-foot smokehouse caught fire in the yard of Cash Koszel. He's a retired meat cutter who's been smoking his own sausage for about 30 years.
Firefighters say some grease caught fire when the smokehouse got too hot.
Koszela says it will cost about $3,000 to replace the smokehouse. It's actually a tin-lined walk-in cooler fed by smoke piped in from a fire pit.
