It was a hell of a great gathering, with TONS of great food. The pig was awesome! The company was even better.

I am so jealous of your space and all your cookers! The good news is my wife saw that it could be way worse and will now permit me to build a UDS!

Can't wait to do it again!

All the brethren were chomping down in it! I think we were the only ones at the party doing so.

Hohilicious! Great job.
So, what would you do differently on your 2nd one (if any)?

Very cool! I also noticed that you were using the third fastest thermapen... Cause you know Red and Blue are the fastest.

Actually the only thing I'll do differently next time is I'll get a bigger pig - I'm thinking 80#. Besides that, I wanna be a little more methodical about breaking it down - like pulling the ribs out intact, etc. I'm guessing there's a proper way to break down a pig & it's probably a good thing to know.

It really was. My lovely wife & I guess it was around 55 folks - a huge number of whom brought excellent food.

I'm actually a few pounds up from where I've been - I got my winter layer going and I'll be getting rid of it starting next week.
