Saturday Pig Head, A Few Squirrels, Brisket, Sausage & Rib Tips

[Plumbcrazyone]

How do you prep the pig head. Just curious. I bet the cheeks are awesome. I hear the head meat makes great tamales but I have never attempted to cook one. Thanks

Man its lookin good! I doubt the missus would ever let me cook a head of any kind LOL. What parts of the head do you eat? obviously cheeks? is there more meat I'm unaware of?

 

[Plumbcrazyone]

Kind of makes you want to go get one, doesn't it!:-D

This is my first one, but all I did was just put some seasoning on it and tossed into the smoker. I've done a cow head before and it was good. Interested in the cheeks, ears and brains.

Nice to see you're up to your usual shenanigans back East. It's sure fun to watch.

Enjoy!

So wrapped both meats a little after 4hrs. Pig head looks good, but what do I know :shock:. I stole a piece of the ear and it was crunchy and delicious. Cheek temp was mid 180's. Will let it go for a couple more hours I guess




Brisket is looking really nice. I haven't done a prime in a while. Stuck a probe in it and won't look again till at least 204. Pit temp is now 300'ish

It's actually been a while since I've cooked on my Shirley and the weather is perfect today, so couldn't be a better mix

Rib tips on. Gave them a base layer of ginger and then adobo rub



The 3 squirrels are prepped. Will smoke for an hour in the warmer at a lower temp and then foil the pan and finish. Won't go on for a bit

Any chance we could talk your bride out of her Dreamsicle cheese cake recipe? I bet the pig head is going to be great. Can't wait for the regret mac n cheese review either!

I'm really interested in seeing the results of those squirrels. Pron please ??

Frankly, give me the pig head, a pile of corn tortillas, and a salsa cruda...oh yeah, tequila, lime juice, and Cointreau.

 

[Jason TQ]

After bacon, pig head meat is my second favorite part of the hog!
