I am getting excited. This is double excitement, its my first whole hog for my daughters first birthday! I ordered the pig from a local farmer! It will be butchered next Thursday and I pick it up a week from today! It does not get much fresher than that. I asked for hanging weight around 60. Her warned me he is not the best judge, so I may get a bigger pig. Hahah, leftovers.:drool. My new dual probe digital thermometer showed up today! My F-I-L has already started picking up cinder blocks for the pit. He is also picking up most of the charcoal. I was going to start the build of the pit today, but it's 106 here in central NC. Not gonna happen today. I will be making the rub this weekend and the mop sauce and inject sauce on Monday or Tuesday. What am I forgetting? Don't worry, pic will happen.
