    Question. Is that you in the pic holding the peel?

    @DMW-Dang-that is gonna be some great eats.  Been so many years since I did a whole pig (well before the BGE and SWMBO rules) but I still remember the remarkable taste and flavor-when not too deep into adult supervisory beverages.  What a cook!!

    @SGH I am still very much an amateur, but thank you.

    Also, I don't think I answered your question about the Emile Henry stone. Yes, it is ceramic, but has a coating of some sort. It works very well.

    My Saturday cook of ribs, kielbasa, grilled pineapple and grilled peaches and a few sides seems so mundane compared to all that you have got going on... Fantastic looking cook..

    Hey, this is what I call a party!! Beer and homemade pizza on the 4th, only to be outdone by an allnighter and whole hog the next day =D>
    Gonna make my day of golf followed by steaks on my son-in-laws ceramic cooker seem like childs play. Have fun my friend... tomorrow you "may" get some rest!

    Just curious, I've always seen whole hogs cooked on their back. Is cooking on their belly common?

    IT is 194* I just dropped the temp to 220* and will back it down as it progresses to draw the cook out til eat time. Not really a good way to FTC this. ;)

    And the ribs, if you haven't made up a batch of Memphis Dust from Amazingribs.com its really good on ribs.

    Depends on the cooker, but yes belly down is common and allows the grease to drip out.

    Good to know, it seems most of the times I've seen whole hog cooked it was splayed out on it's back. Heard it mentioned that it allowed the grease to baste the meet while cooking. I can't wait to see pics of that pig once you start pulling it! Yum!

    That is one sweet cook-again, I am envious that you have the green-light to partake in such cooks.  Geez- what a banquet awaits!  Most accomplished and thanks for sharing.

    I cooked panty droppers last night for my neighbor's. Huge hit. Try cutting lengthwise and wrapping. Pita but less jalapeño and less heat. Either way, hope they were good. Weird combo. Everyone turns their nose up...till they drop. >:)
