Pit Cooking

[rubicon]

Larry, did you ever eat any of the hogs we cooked during the Blackwater 100? We did kinda the same thing. One of my buddies Sam and I cooked the hogs each year. I got screens from LR Tipple and we set them up on concrete blocks and built a big fire beside them and shoveled the hot coals in under the screen . we cooked 3 hogs at a time and would start about 6pm and go through the night. Made our barbecue sauce in a galvanized trash can and put it on the hogs with a mop. (bought new mop and can each time even though it wast fitting for true rednecks not to use the older ones). Cooked nine hogs over the three days of the race and always sold out. this was for the fire dept. And thats how we bought the new fire truck and land where we built the firehouse. Miss that race!
