My brother got married Saturday and we did a whole pig and 30 half chickens for the reception. First time I’ve done a whole pig but my buddy who was helping has done a few so just listened to him. The grill for the chickens was a barrel cut the night before (at about 11pm after way too many beers. OSHA wouldn’t have approved) but it worked great. The chicken we sprayed with my brothers concoctions of mostly ACV and turned out great. The chicken was gone about 20 minutes after it was set out. Luckily we were eating as we were splitting them. When we pulled the pig off Al kinds of people came to watch and we were even able to put some of them to work pulling it so it worked out great.
-The pit my brother built and finally finished about a week ago. It ran pretty good. Temp difference was about 40 degrees across which we didn’t think was too bad. We started burning oak around 1pm Friday, and we got the pig on at 6pm to have it ready for 4pm the next day. Used Jeff’s rub all over it and injected it with ACV mixed with the leftover rub. Anyway here are all the pics I was able to snap. I didn’t get any of the chicken finished which I was mad about. But we were busy
