Thanks everbody! The block pit is really easy to use. It's kind of an eye sore in the back yard but there are no neighbors to complain. :-D

Nice Jeannie, as usual! Thats a whole lot a food!
so this pit, you covered it? I guess I need to go read your blog!! LOL!

Yes I cover the pit! Thanks! :becky:

Everyone's invited to the next one if you bring side dishes, lawn chairs beer and ice. lol

Real nice Jeannie! I'm with Bob on the deviled eggs, I can't get enough. We have a couple of big parties here every year so I'm real interested in the whole hog/cinder block idea. I'm going to re-read your blog. Thanks for the inspiration. And BTW Wow what a spread of food.

How many people? That looks like quite a spread.

Thank you Black Dog, The pit really is easy to use. I placed the beans over the hot coals on one end and they did simmer through the whole cook. I stirred them a few times. The center of the pit stayed at 225F.
When I added the pulled pork, I kept it covered and gave it a stir every so often to make sure it wasn't drying out.

You know.... I never did get to try one of those deviled eggs. :-D

Thanks again. :thumb:

JD, 50 were invited but not all could make it. The ones that did come brought new fiances, husbands, wifes too.... so it probably brought the count back up to 50. I didn't take a head count after cooking. I hit the ice chest and grabbed a cold beer. :becky:


Here's an old pit cook.. venison leg, chipotle pork butt and smoked pintos...

Thanks Hamilton! You can do it either way. Laying them on top of the hot coals is the easiest. I slide a block open on the end of the pit and add the coals. You can make doors for your pit, but this works fine for me.

Thank you M and Sunra! :-D
