Whole pig on charcoal rotisserie

[MrSkimo]

2 hours in and we are already averaging 100 F in the hams and shoulders. Coming along really nicely

[hoovarmin]

I forgot you guys are 4 hours behind us!

[MrSkimo]

I’m actually cooking in Seattle this weekend - so 3 hours!

[MrSkimo]

6am - it just started spitting a little rain and we t dropped about 15 degrees ambient. I’m a little glad as it will slow down the cool a little.

[MrSkimo]

3 hours in now. Internal temps are 110 - 130 F. We have used 2.5 bags of briquettes, about 45 pounds.

[hoovarmin]

That crispy skin is going to be heaven!

[SheilaAnn]

But that skin!

[MrSkimo]

Did we get the Apple placement right, we weren’t sure. :-)

When we were stitching it back together there was a pretty big hole so we needed to plug it.

[hoovarmin]

😂 I'm not eating that apple.

[holehogg]

🧐😂😂

[MrSkimo]

The middle was getting crispy so we wrapped it for a while

[Donw]

Great job. I’m really appreciating the updates as it progresses.

[hoovarmin]

Me too

[MrSkimo]

4 hours in now. Internal temperature is 120 - 150. We’ve used 3.5 bags of charcoal.

[bardsleyque]

Arnold, is that you?

[Andrrr]

These kinds of cooks are so fun to follow along to. Thanks for the updates!

This is awesome!

[MrSkimo]

No, this is Greg Loudon from Alaska. We are cooking at my buddy’s house in Snohomish.

I snuck away for a few minutes to take a shower and asked my compatriots to put the next chimney of charcoal in the backside as soon as it was ready. They had a spill putting the lit charcoal in and lit a bush on fire. Had to get out the hose and douse the plastic leveling blocks the grill was on. I came back and they were both really sheepish. Took another hour to get good coals back on and resume roasting. 6 hours in and we are now at 132-159 internal. We’ve used 6 bags of charcoal.

The rain was getting more intense so we had to set up a tent.

I think bardsleyque meant this:

[MrSkimo]

LOL - Thanks RonB and bardsleyque I totally didn't get the reference! I might have been a little slow at that time of the morning too. :-)

[MrSkimo]

Yah, I snuck off a piece that had erupted. It is heaven

[bardsleyque]

I'm in Snoqualmie, right down the road...

[hoovarmin]

You guys are in God's country. I'll never forget going to Snoqualmie Falls and hiking to Gem Lake. Such a beautiful place.
