I saw this red (maybe orange) box van with some sort of round logo on the back that said Stokers (not the Boston Stoker Coffee logo). The van had a stainless steel chimney on top and there was heat shimmer suggesting it was operating.
I was too far away to snag a picture, but I was curious if anyone knows the truck or the company? Very unusual (at least to me) to see.
Red "Stokers" Truck in Somerville?

I'm checking into it. Goggle says things like a 'catering business associated with an Automobile dealership. Makes sense that you say a stack with a heat plume. I'm including a few links I found.

OOPs, I copied the wrong links. Boston has a similar deal, and it is a catering link. ...but if you are in Ohio, it should help you out as well. Larry will probably zip right over to Dayton, anyway.
