Hey Rick, congratulations on your cook. Sure sounds like it went well. And the pit came through for you OK. CF:)
Hi All!
Janie- sounds like your l'il critters are enjoying being rowdy "siblings"!
Rick- congratualtions! Sounds like some nice gigs are heading your way. Man, I can see this eventually getting just as big as you can handle. As soon as word of mouth spreads- look out!
When I was in high school a dear friend went away to be a Rotary-Exchange student and her folks had a huge open-house-farewell for her. They had a pig-roast and hired a local farmer who had a huge pig-cooker come and set-up in their yard, slow-roast a humungous hog and supply all the sides. This was like 25-26 years ago but I remember they fed an entire yard-full of folks and had everything from potato salad/slaw/baked beans to a huge slab of plywood set up on a pair of saw-horses under a shade-tree where they chopped apart and wedged a wheel-barrow full of watermelons for the crowd. Of all the various shin-digs I've been to and worked in my life and career that one stands out in memory as one the the funnest and one of the tastiest!

We are just watching to water rise here in Louisiana. I'm one of the lucky ones. Being in the NW part of the state we are 125 ft above sea level as long as the Mississippi doesn't back up the Red River we will be fine.
Wish I was in your church Rick and would be enjoying something out of your smoker next week.

I wish we all lived closer to eachother. I'd love to sit down and eat with all of the people here.
Kevin, believe it or not just this pat weekend I met a guy from the southern part of Louisiana and he was telling me about something called a coon-ass microwave. It's a stainless steel box that you put a whole hog in and set a cover on it which holds charcoal. He said the heat radiates down into the box and cooks the hog. It sounds really cool.
