That was my first thought too when I saw that picture. The only method I've seen is build a fire under a large tub and scald, then scrape the hog...

The blow torch method seems it would be much simpler if you can stand the smell.

Looks mighty tasty cowgirl. Wish I was on your guest list. You ARE a goddess. Dont let nolesfan get to you, he obviously doesn't understand immortality.

Jeanie I have read this entire thread start to now. Your cooking skills have always amazed me. And now along with a kind and caring personality too, you amaze me even more.:!::!::!::!::!::!:

Thank you so much for being a true part of the Brethren and sharing your cooks and time with us all.:cool:

P>S I would very much like that Shrimp recipe also.:!::wink::!::!:

you handled it just fine. i imagined you going out and splitting logs or throwing hatchets or something after you read that guys comments.

Jeanie that looks fantastic as always! You always have the most entertaining and informative posts, and yes you can do it all and owe NO ONE an apology for doing it. You keep it up:) Thanks!!!

I just got caught up on this thread and as always Jeanie your talents are just plain jaw dropping. Your pics and discribtion of how to do a pig underground clear up most of the questions I've always had about trying it but is still takes experience and confidence to pull it off and that is what I admire about you.

You da best girlfriend!

Damn, you are Simply Marvelous!:cool:

Don't be sexist man, it ain't cool!:mad:

That looks like a lot of work, but it lools good!

WTG Cowgirl you are one awesome lady. I for one would love to have the BBQ Talents that I have seen with your Pics. That pig looks incredible. Love the way you cooked it. looks like it would be fun to try. Always look forward to your posts

Cowgirl.... So so cool that you take the time to photo and post your cooks. I've learned alot from you already. whenever i need to cook something with WOW factor i always refer to your blog. Thanks again. BTW great looking pig and sides.

Just be sure to call JULIE first Ron, or we'll have a whole new thread!:twisted:

I certainly stepped into it with both feet. My apologies to Cowgirl and all the Bretheren.
I understand the depth of feeling I stirred up, but I never, EVER, made any remark about women being unable to accomplish anything they set thier minds to, nor did my post imply such.
I'll keep my thoughts to myself.
Thanks for the opportunity to learn so much.

WOW where the heck have I been Great Job as usual Cowgirl.....

Oh Helllll YA

That was a beautiful tutorial of cooking a pig in the ground Jeanie, your skill and knowledge of cooking inside the kitchen or in the smoke house, a UDS, fire ring, hole in the ground are outstanding. You have a wonderful gift of sharing and have the advantage of being a excellent photographer. Unfortunately there is negativity on our path of life, I applaud the way you handled it. The food looked wonderful
