Default Dropping in to say hi with 5 hogs in an open pit

It's been many years friends. I've tried to check in multiple times but my password and email reset didn't work, so no more Shencomoke, just Shenco. Starting fresh with a new account/name.

I have been very busy over the last few years. Got some really good stories and some epic cooks under my belt. This is a cook from this past weekend. We cooked five 160 pd hogs with live coals in a 25’ long open pit for a local community festival/chamber of commerce event. We ran through about 2 cord of white oak and hickory. The meat was given out as tastings to the public (about 3,000 people showed up), along with 500 halves of chicken. Boshizzle was there with a big ole grin on his face. Its been a long time since this type of cook was attempted in Virginia, although he has documentation of it happening in the 1700 and 1800’s. Cheers!

How do you cook a brisket in 6 hours? Is the bark setup by then? Legit question!
