For about 18 years, Curt Herring did his bar-b-que business there under the name Smoke Signals. He built the stone oven but tried not to modify the 110 year old building any more than necessary. He lived upstairs. Season was a little short of fishing season at each end, Thursdays through Mondays. He traveled, often to Mexico, the rest of the year. Served food on styrofoam to avoid putting in a commercially rated water heater to wash dishes. Most of the seating was out back on a buckboard, a wagon side, a barn door and such. The last few years in failing health he ran a jewelry business of sorts there. He had been purchasing the materials on his earlier travels.
The pork ribs were my favorite.
