@Charlesmaneri-most eggcellent cook and documentation.  When the enjoyment settles, could you share the directions/recipe that led you to this "promised land"?  If nothing else I want to use the "face factor" for an extended trip to the couch...and beyond!  I just never learn!

Great results, makes the journey worth it. Actually in this case the journey was probably worth it by itself.

Charlesmaneri

The only thing I can say is that was the best pork I have ever eaten the meat was almost sweet the texture was wonderful I will with out doubt be doing this again it was even better then I could have imagined

Charlesmaneri

@lousubcap I seasoned the cavity with salt, pepper& garlic powder seasoned the outside with bad byrons but rub let the pig cool out in the fridge over night lit the egg with apple wood started yhe cook at 300 degrees for like 1/2 hour to some what sear it then kicked back to 225 degrees and kept it their until the meat temp was 170 degrees then FTC FOR ABOUT 1 1/2 hours if you need anymore info just ask

Well Done!!!!  ^:)^

Was it difficult to carve?  Our old church hired a guy to cook a hole hog in his stick burner in the parking lot.  It was a pulled pork party! 

Charlesmaneri

@Fred19flintstone I didn't carve it I cut it up almost like a chicken

Thanks for sharing this. It was a lot of fun to watch your progress and a lot of great info. That slab of swine looks soo good buddy.

Love this cook. did you measure the meat temp in the ham or somewhere else? Any injection?

Charlesmaneri

No injection and yes in the ham

Aviator

OMG, that looks awesome.

Really, this is probably a cook for a guys get together. I am sure I will not be allowed to bring that into the kitchen, before or after its done.

:(

I wish you could put a rotisserie on the Egg (you can't, can you?)

@GlennM in answer to you question did the Ladies wolf down some NO NO and NO the way I see it it's their loss 

henapple

You went 170...did the pork pull?

lousubcap

@Charlesmaneri-thanks for the info-I'm good with that and now I just need to "step up to the plate".  Continue to enjoy-

Charlesmaneri

@henapple I dont really know I basically just cut it up like a chicken I ate the left han & rack of ribs I would think that it would have pulled

henapple

Just wondering.... I want to do one.

I have to say this was my most enjoyable cook I really had fun cooking and posting this cook im glad all you guys also enjoyed it

Austin Egghead

Beautiful pig and wonderful post.  Thanks for taking us with you for this cook. =D> =D>

GlennM

I enjoyed it as well. Shame the ladies wouldn't dive in. Should of made them some tofu I guess?

Charlesmaneri

@GlennM the funny thing is the Ladies eat pork when I make Butt they eat it like it's going out of style ,I guess it has something to do with it being so cute or the fact that it was a baby really not sure anyway it was their loss

People don't seem to like knowing where their food comes from and what it looks like in it's original form. I think everyone should slaughter, cook and eat an animal at least once in their lifetime.
