I've been testing and tuning some hotsmoking recipes.
It would seem that using_ [patch:number_of_cuts_to_be_smoked]
and requiring fixed amount of firewood, say (20), with [remove] [ground], and without [patchwise] on the line, the firewood is NOT consumed.

Using hooks instead of yarn for hanging, can't return the yarn on custom smoking recipes.
