    Assuming to get it right - Easiest:  Pork Butt Most Difficult: I'd say Whole Hog is the toughest, but most people are equipment bound and can't do that anyhow.  Now if you are talking competition, I'd say chicken.   But this is generalized, so I'll say brisket How's that for a non-committal...

    Tatonka Dust on the house!

    Question/Help with new Pit Barrel Cooker
