Ah, Barry that isn't too far fetched although it would work better with Lutfisk as a dampening agent.    Kielbasa could be utilized as a retaining wall to keep the Lutfusk contained should enough heat was generated to make the Lutfisk too viscous .....yummmmmmm   just imagine the aroma after several hours of operation!!!!
