That is a fantastic looking porker there BT!

Nicely done and great q-view too.

I love father-son projects.  Didn't get a chance for many of those growing up but I'm making sure my boys do!  Kudos to you and your dad!!!!

How did you control the temperature,  and if it is not a secret what was your dry rub mix?

We controlled the temp with the plywood. We kept it all sealed up most of the time and stuck a probe thermometer in the plywood on the top pieces. 

My dry rub was the average but made sure it was extra sweet with the turbinado sugar. That also helped with the nice color.
 
Thats really cool, its a shame as kids we can't be as smart as we think we are. All I wanted was to get out in the world away from the pigs and chickens and garden and mechanic and etc etc..... then ya wake up one day are realize you want to go and do all that stuff. Then you have to try and remember what you were shown.

Nice smoke on that pig, good to cook with the family.

I am thinking about trying some cracklin when it cools off just to see if I remember how. Pop loves 'em, I can't eat 'em with store bought teeth. Hope he'll enjoy it though.

Looks like a great job guys.

You said it all foamheart! Thank you
 
Great looking pig.  I going to try to duplicate this just as you did it.

1)  What is the size of your pit.

2)  Did you rub both sides of the pig

3)  What is the pan in the coals

Thanks for your info
 
These were done quite frequently when I was growing up.  I haven't done one or even heard of one being done in many years.  I hate the suburbs.
