I'm ready to see how this turned out!

I've been thinking about it all day!

This is looking epic!

Sitting at 180 IT in ham, loaded more coal and letting it ride until 5 when we eat. Cut through fat and got some ham meat. Tastes like gloryland.

What about driving from PA? :biggrin: Looks good and maybe you're having nicer weather there!

Ribs will Ben done before 5. These are the three dry. Three wet wrapped and bout ready to undo and firm up. Beautiful day in Mississippi and all smoke is looking great.

I have a firepit going but I'm in jeans and flip flops. Couldn't be better January weather

Nothing like a good fire. And three smokers going full blast

Looks like a great birthday party!  I would say have fun but it seems you have that under control.

Couldn't leave out the awesome cake my wife made for me! The hog turned out amazing! It smoked for almost 24 hours. Thanks for all the posts and thanks for letting me know I would be insane if I started smoking that hog the same morning!!!! No skin on wasn't a big deal and it had plenty of fat to keep everything moist. I could not reccomend this homemade cinder block pit enough! It cooked perfect! And so easy to build.

I should have made the drive! All of that looks like a very nice feast!

Great work, great friendship, killer cake, and happy birthday to you!

Great job. Brings back memories of how my pops used to do one similar. Happy Birthday from Louisiana

 

[GaryHibbert]

That looks GREAT.  I haven't figured out how to get 1/2 a pig in a MES30, so I'll just sit back and enjoy yours.

Nice job.

Apparently I'm making this an annual event, will be sending the smoke up Friday afternoon, I can only hope I get a similar outcome this year, can't wait!
