    Hanging meat via toothpicks or skewers

    I have never used toothpicks, I have always used skewers. I think it all depends on your application. I have bought skewers that fit in the rack supports on my mes30.

    Summer Sausage

    Need Help with Using Oak

    I always use oak in my pig roaster. I will start with charcoal, then add small split oak that has been soaked in water overnight. Each time I add more wood I will put a few lumps of charcoal to keep the wood going.

    Rainy day pig roast!

    We filled 3 nescos to the top with the pork. Finished it with a sauce made with beef stock, cider vinegar, red pepper flakes, and some other seasonings. Time to relax with a few beverages.
