This is Bob, AKA Roscoe, coming to you from northern NJ. This site looked interesting and informative which prompted me to register.

I’m a retired private investigator; giving up my agency after almost three decades. I’m also an avid hunter. I’ve killed many dear in upstate NY, pheasants, grouse in addition to Elk and Muley out in Wyoming. The last two years we’ve been going down to Tennessee for boar. Last year I got a Russian sow that came in a little over 300 lbs and this year I got a feral sow at around 350lbs. Also picked up a quart mason jar of local hooch and a quart of local apple pie shine.


Didn’t do much smoking last year with the exception of the ribs but this year I plan to smoke most of the hog. I got rid of my entry level Brinkman and picked up a Weber SM 18” which can handle a whole hind leg.

Over the years I’ve smoked everything from lake trout to pheasants and regular pork cuts. I’ll be looking for some sage advice from members here on best ways to smoke my feral piggy.

In addition to hunting, I love golf, hiking and driving my replica of a 66 Shelby Cobra that I built from scratch 15 years ago.

Best to all,

Welcome aboard Bob!

That's a some big ole pigs for sure right there! Never have shot more than 75 lbs but they we're mighty fine eatin'!

I recommend posting in Q Talk and you'll get a buncha good feedback. I've always brined my wild hogs but it's been a few years since doing one (and I got the recipe off this site).
 
Welcome to the forum Bob, glad to have you join us and hopefully take part in the other forums.

We don't have a lot of rules here other than spam and advertising are not permitted, the rest is just common sense, courtesy, and mutual respect for one another.

You'll find a great group of people here with a willingness to help and guide you, regardless of of how simple or how complicated you think your question may be. You'll also find that there are many ways to achieve great food, there is no single "cookie cutter" method as some have been conditioned to think. You'll just have to try a few different methods and soon you'll master the way that works best for you.

We'll be here to guide you and answer your questions as you begin your journey into smoking and BBQ. Pretty soon you'll go from asking questions to posting pictures of your progress, and we will all share in your experience as true Brethren.


We have many different forums here.... Below are just a few of them.

For discussion on BBQ/Smoking related topics, we have the "Q-Talk" Forum. This is a good starting point for all new Brethren.

For those who are interested in competing, We have a "Competition BBQ" forum.

We also have a "Catering, Food Handling and Awareness" and "Catering, Vending and Cooking For The Masses".

We also have a trading forum where members can trade sauces and rubs available from different areas around our country.

For general non BBQ related talk we also have "The Wood Pile" forum.


I hope to see you in the "Q-Talk" forum soon. You'll find help on almost every topic from cooking your first Pork Butt to curing and smoking your own ham and bacon.

If you can't find the topic you need help with, or have questions about a specific topic, just start a new thread in the related forum.

There are many members with years of experience that are willing to answer your questions and share their knowledge to guide you in the right direction. Collectively there is a wealth of experience and knowledge among the membership, including you. Don't be afraid to jump in there and share your knowledge and your experiences as well.

Bob, Welcome to the Brethren!! There is a wealth of knowledge and experience amung the members. If you have a BBQ or cooking related obsession or hobby this is the place to be. Sit back, soak up the knowledge and jump in there and be sure to share yours as well. If you can't find or get an answer to the question here then there is probably not an answer available.
