Readers' tips

Steve, of Egg Harbor Township, writes to let Rodney know you can buy pig roasters at www.smokymtbarbeque.com starting at $600. You could also buy a regular smoker from Weber that will do the same thing for about $200. Order a fully cooked pig or rent a roaster and cook it yourself at Binghurstmeats.com. Sams Club sells uncooked whole pigs.

C.A. Ruga writes in to let Sandy know she took a chandelier to Chappys on Main and Butler streets in Vineland and had it dipped. Bob, of Margate, writes to try Shore Restorations on Pleasant Avenue in Pleasantville.

Bob, along with Miriam, of Margate, also wanted Mary, of Ocean City, to know she can purchase Unique Pretzels at Casal's in Margate. Annamarie D. buys the pretzels at the Acme in Festival Center, Mays Landing. They are on display by the seafood counter. Mary, of Upper Township, gets hers at Acme on Route 50 in Cedar Square Shopping Center.
