    Hanging weight means the pig is gutted, hair removed, and ready to cook.

    Smoker Cover

    I recently bought a cover for my 48” patio smoker with a counter balance for a company called CoverUs.  Their salesman Abe worked with me diligently, trading emails with me until they had the measurements for my smoker that they needed.  The cover cost me $204 including the cost of shipping out...

    I finally cooked my first pig

    I bought the pig from a wholesale meat company in Sacramento.  The pig weighed 55 lbs hanging weight.  I did not inject the pig. (I don't own an injector.)  I applied some homemade dry rub inside the cavity after I removed all the silver skin that I could. I applied some cooking oil on the skin...

    Kingsford Original sale

    I finally cooked my first pig

The pig was supposed to be done at 5 pm.   I made one rookie mistake with the time.  I started cooking the pig at 250 degrees and after a couple of hours; I thought the pig was cooking too fast.  I throttled back the heat to 225 degrees and at 3 pm the pig was only...

    Whole Hog Question

    I’ve been smoking meat for about 20 years now.  I have cooked everything that you could imagine, except a whole hog.  Earlier this year, my wife gave me permission to buy a new 48” X 24” reverse flow patio smoker to cook a pig in. I’ve noticed that cooking meat on my RF smoker, the food tends...

    Eating smoking food increases triglycerides

    My wife told me that eating smoking food increases triglycerides.  Has anyone else been told this?  If this is true, my new smoker is going bye bye.  If this is not true, I need to debunk this ASAP.
