    "Whole" Hog Problem

    "Whole" Hog Problem

    Yeah, new butcher is top on the list. I'm planning to keep the coals on the two ends, nothing directly under the hog. I have two full size drip pans that I'll have some apple juice in and I'm planning to inject with a simple brine and I may mop it with some of the finishing sauce I have already...

    "Whole" Hog Problem

    Well, things just got even more off-script. I called again to confirm that the pig would at least be scalded, scraped, and thawed when I picked it up. The butcher informed me that they didn't scald and scrape there, the pig had been skinned. So, I'm now cooking two skinned halves of a pig...

    New in Dayton

    After spending a year living in Arkansas, I learned that there is nothing better than good BBQ.  Then, the Air Force sent me to Dayton, OH and I found out that good BBQ isn't readily available everywhere.  So, I determined to take things into my own hands.  Now I'm working on my first UDS and...
