[ATTACHMENT=821]photo (2).JPG (108k. JPG file)[/ATTACHMENT]When you have a pig roaster , Somehow you get invite it to all the party's. Thats good right? Last weekend I was asked to smoke a pig for a wedding. It was a low cost as the newly weds did not have much to spend. ( how can you say no? ) so 126lb pig and 60lbs of chicken on the bbq42 and the pig on the pr60 ( sorry, there meadow creek cookers ) the new happy couple got married.
I cooked the pig for 14hrs ? Something like that, and the chicken I do low and slow , about 1-3/4 hr. I was outside looking at what I need to do to pack up the cookers and how I was to tired to do it, When every one stated to come out and tell me how good the food was. When the bride and groom out, to thank me and tell me how good it was, the bride started to cry and could not thank me enough, I was tolled that with out me doing it for them there would have not been a full family and friends, reception. it would have been just the moms and dads.
Makes me think, I was injured in a accident and cant work now. In the past I've felt lucky to have what I have. After the weekend I feel luckier to have what I have , now I can share what I have, to help others, I'm a volunteer for the Operation BBQ Relief too. Have not been out with them yet, but when that day comes, I'm there.
I leave you with something to think about.
A. Look around you and see what you may have that could help others , No matter how small it me be, It could be the best thing in someone's life.
B. Look up and volunteer for the Operation BBQ Relief or help with what you can. What the hell ,you like cooking your on here, right, just saying.
C. Love the ones that stands next to you. Tell them what they mean to you, and tell them how much you love them. One day you my not be able too.
Until the next time keep the smoke in the smoker and not in the house.
Stay safe
