Fired up at 5:30, 112 pound hog in at 6:30, rocking steady at 275-300. Will cook 50 pounds of tenderloins on the Santa Maria later today. Fighting thunderstorms & rain. More later.

Probably my computer but I can't see the pics Dave! Sounds great though!! I'll try looking again later.
 
Naw, it's probably me trying to upload from a iPhone in a thunderstorm. Fark!
 
Awesome Pics!! Looking good! I have a question about your tent. Is the heat from the stack going to melt it? How far away is it from the stack??
 
Sweet, another whole hog thread, I love em! Looking good!

Hopefully I won't mess up my 1st whole hog this summer after reading all the threads on them...
 
Quick update, hog is at 130* in the shoulder with 5+ hours to go. Started with 2 hours of smoke then wrapped in foil. Looks like the rain & lightening might be ending; if so I'll start a fire in the Santa Maria at 2:00-3:00 to build a good bed of coals for the tenderloins.

Nice setup you got there. What's in the 5 gallon buckets to anchor you pop up?

Just water.
 
Great update! Hope the T-storms go away for you!

I'm good and have a backup if the Santa Maria does not work but this cook is for an outdoor wedding (close friends daughter; closest thing to our own) so I'm hoping it clears for her sake.
