Easier than last nights dinner. Group of us were camping, annual get

We chipped in and one of the guys did a pit roast of a a 250# porker.
Wrapped in some fruit and banana leaves, 1.5cord of oak, and 18 hours.
Very tasty. Not quick, not cheap. $850 for porky. And about $1150 total.


You should have sent someone out for pulled pork sandwiches. We have a
pretty good local restaurant that does a great job with ribs and pulled
pork, and sells a first class overstuff pulled pork sandwich for $8 with
fries and coleslaw. There's enough pork in the order for two sandwiches.

18 hours? That's really, too too too funny. Idle hands and idle minds.

Harry, depending on what you want. cooking a 200 lb whole hog can take 18-24 hrs.

When we were stationed in Puerto Rico we had a pork roast. Someone got
the pig, slaughtered it and stuck it on a pole draining overnight in the
corner of the transmitter building we worked in. Meanwhile, a pit was
constructed outside for the fire/embers. My contribution was to design
and construct a heavy duty rotisserie to hold the pig over the pit.

I made a heavy duty steel frame and used one of the electric motors and
gear heads that were used to tune the inductor coils in the big, 100,000
watt HF transmitters. Worked great and rotated the pig at just the
right speed.

I forget exactly how many hours it took to cook it but I think it was
around 24 hours.

Some folks think you can throw a Boston Butt on a pan with some seasoning and liquid smoke, put it in the oven for three hours at 325, and that's BBQ. I actually feel sorry for them.

I do a lot of cooking, Greggie. But why would I want to waste most of a
day cooking 200 pounds of something the guys down at "Adam's Ribs" can
do for eat-in or carry-out for $8, with no fuss and no muss? They have
great ribs, too. And fried chicken.

Gee, Tim, I have no idea how many sandwiches the local barbecue
emporium can deliver in a day. It's not something that concerns me. I do
know they serve up a lot of ribs, pulled pork, and barbecued and fried
chicken...the place is always crowded for eat-in and carry-out.

You seem to miss the whole point of having a pig roast. It's an event.
The one we did in Puerto Rico started mid morning, lasted all day and
went on well into the evening. Many people, both Navy and native Puerto
Ricans participated with their families. Fun time for all with lots to
eat, softball games, beer and soda.

We usually have two big lawn parties a year here, one in early June and
the other just before labor day, and about 50 friends attend one or the
other or even both. Seafood at one, beef, pork, and chicken at the
other. I rent a "big grill on wheels" for the "meat" party, and for the
seafood one, we cook on our gas grill and stovetop and one of our
neighbors rolls over his big outdoor gas grill. Seems sufficient.
Sometimes we rent a big tent...and the tent rental place sets it up for
us and takes it down the next day. No, I wouldn't mess with a "200 lb
whole hog" under those or any other circumstances.

When we lived in Puerto Rico (off base) our next door neighbors were
super nice to Mrs.E. and I, often inviting us over for home cooked
traditional Puerto Rican dishes. They were older, retired and
she was a fantastic cook. Got to try things that I'll probably
never see or hear of again. It was fun and they were awesome people.

Get off your drunken ass and do something. There were the kids riding

played, my godson and his wife came up for the get together and brought a
bunch of really fantastic avocados from their tree. Get caught up on what
friends have been doing since the last get together. Do not judge others

constructed outside for the fire/embers. My contribution was to design
and construct a heavy duty rotisserie to hold the pig over the pit.

I made a heavy duty steel frame and used one of the electric motors and
gear heads that were used to tune the inductor coils in the big, 100,000
watt HF transmitters. Worked great and rotated the pig at just the
right speed.

I forget exactly how many hours it took to cook it but I think it was
around 24 hours.
......

In-jinooity, Richard. Necessity is the mother of invention.

I trust the pig was tasty too!

No doubt that one and Bill's were very good!

Some folks think you can throw a Boston Butt on a pan with some seasoning
and liquid smoke, put it in the oven for three hours at 325, and that's
BBQ. I actually feel sorry for them.


We fed over a 150 people. The pot luck portion was great, even though was
a bit light on deserts.

Easier than last nights dinner. Group of us were camping, annual get

Wrapped in some fruit and banana leaves, 1.5cord of oak, and 18 hours.
Very tasty. Not quick, not cheap. $850 for porky. And about $1150 total.


You should have sent someone out for pulled pork sandwiches. We have a
pretty good local restaurant that does a great job with ribs and pulled
pork, and sells a first class overstuff pulled pork sandwich for $8 with
fries and coleslaw. There's enough pork in the order for two sandwiches.

18 hours? That's really, too too too funny. Idle hands and idle minds.

Typical Harry. Why cook anything yourself when you can get someone to
cook it for you?

Harry, depending on what you want. cooking a 200 lb whole hog can take 18-24 hrs.


That's just wonderful, Tim, but it begs the question, why would I want
to cook a "200 lb whole hog"?


Because some of us have big get togethers. Started out as 5 families that
dove for abalone 46 years ago. We did not have any kids at the time, and
now have 4 granddaughters. Is usually a big abalone feed, but no season
this year.

I do a lot of cooking, Greggie. But why would I want to waste most of a
day cooking 200 pounds of something the guys down at "Adam's Ribs" can
do for eat-in or carry-out for $8, with no fuss and no muss? They have
great ribs, too. And fried chicken.


How much time is wasted cooking? The guy in charge likes doing the BBQ,
and probably 3 hours actual work. Get a big fire and burn down to coals,
season and wrap the pig in banana leaves, wrap in wet burlap, place in
cooker, close lid, and 16 hours later open the lid or pit. Pull pig meat.
Prep time is the time you put in, the cooking does not require any
additional work. I realize you avoid the four letter word work in most
situations.

There are plenty of places to buy cooked pig around here. I have sampled
the offering of several, and found them pretty good. The first time I
ever had pulled pork or ribs was in Kansas City, at Bryant's, considered
by many to be the best of the best. Ate there at least every other week,
so I know what properly done pork and beer are supposed to taste like.

Of course, I'm sure in No-Wheres-Ville, Florida, where you live, has
many epicurean delights to offer.

Not necessarily regional food but the area we wintered in in Florida
(Jupiter) was populated with many very good restaurants. Several
were owned and/or operated by people who previously had high end and
well known restaurants in New York City and other areas of the
country. When they retired to Florida they opened smaller versions
of their "up north" places and some were very, very good.

I won't dispute that...there are lots of good restaurants in Florida, to
be sure. We like a few Cuban restaurants in the greater Miami area, and
that certainly is a distinct cuisine. Joe's Stone Crab in Miami is also
kind of unique. We went there twice in our last visit. Love stone crabs.
My question, though, was whether there were dishes or cuisines unique to
SW Florida or cuisines for which SW Florida is famous.

Who cares? KC BBQ is good, but Texas BBQ is better. SC BBQ, which is pulled pork, is very good in this region which is mustard-based sauce. NC BBQ is vinegar and pepper based, which is also very good.

The MD BBQ you are talking about is nearly certainly molasses based sauce, which is crap. I don't want a bunch of sugar on my smoky, slow cooked meats. Yuck.

Just because you don't know how to deal with a 200lb pig on a pit for 18 hours and you ate at some BBQ place a couple of times 40 years ago you think you know something about BBQ. Too funny.
