Ron James and Retta Feller, the owners of Captain Ronâs Smokehouse and R&R Catering, are usually the first to post online about a new charitable effort or donation jar to support the valleyâs less fortunate, so when a grease fire destroyed their smoker and drink cooler on Saturday afternoon, the community was quick to respond with aid.
âItâs good karma,â Ron said on Monday. âThatâs what we do here, we take care of each other.â
Around 3 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 27, a customer at the BBQ shack started honking her horn and alerted Ron that smoke was coming from the rear of the small Driggs business. A grease fire had ignited in one of the smokers.
