Doing a decent size cook for my parent's Anniversary Party tomorrow, so a good excuse to use the big boy.

Fresh on, earlier this afternoon:

The last check, about 7 hours in:

Cooker just cruising along:

Ribs and turkey will probably go on later tonight, so it's gonna be a long one. But I love it, so no complaints.

Are you sure the barbie is big enough @Brodie

You could dispose of a body in that fucker!

[Brodie]

@Bridger Haha...indeed, it's a big one. It's got some serious capacity. I've thrown a lot at her, but haven't really come close to maxing her out yet.

I miiiiiight be able to squeeze a whole hog on there (a very small one), and I'd love to try it...but haven't got around to it yet. Someday.

[Bridger]

@Brodie, are we still talking about your barbie?

@Brodie In 2011, we had a pot-luck at my house, and I provided the BBQ. This was a 75 pound hog on my Lang 48. By the time it was done, night had fallen, and I brought a lamp down from the house so I could see what I was serving to our guests. It was the best party we ever had and I remember having such a great time. We only got through about half of the hog, but that meant lots of leftovers for me.

I don't know how big your smoker is, but I wanted to share this with you to give you an idea of size and scale of a 48" long smoker with a 75 poung hog inside. Based on the pictures you shared, I can't see you having any issue getting a hog in there.

[Brodie]

@seawolf That is awesome! Sounds like so much fun...I really hope to do that some time. Although, I'm not sure I have enough friends to even make a dent in a whole hog : )

My Shirley is 50" x 24", so sounds like it wouldn't be a problem. Now my wheels are spinning.

Thanks for sharing!

[seawolf]

@Brodie yes! Well, a whole-hog bbq is a sure-fire way to make friends! Invite the neighbors ️

Sounds like you can definitely make it work!

I am pretty new to grilling. My wife got me this kettle charcoal grill for my birthday today! So we’re cooking up some local Texas pasture raised NY Strips. My coworker turned me on to a local meat market that has a great selection and good prices.

[seawolf]

@Danimal506 there’s so much you can do with a kettle grill.

[Danimal506]

@seawolf Yea I figured it’s a good place to start

[catdad1]

@Danimal506 congrats and welcome to the world of charcoal! If you need some help, here's a link to a YouTube video that helped me understand how to get my grill going. It's a lot of fun once you get the hang of it. Patience when getting your coals started is key!
