    Whole Hog for a Cause

    Hi everyone -

    My BBQ buddy and I cooked a whole hog in Brooklyn last weekend for charity. We had a blast and raised some good money for a good cause. We kept things pretty simple - just salt on the skin; no seasoning in the cavity - Skylight Inn is our north star.

    For service, we chopped and dressed the pork with vinegar, salt, pepper, and Texas Pete. Skin was nice n' crispy too.

          Well done, especially for charity! Whole hog is so intimidating, yet really not that challenging a cook. It's very forgiving! I've done a bunch over the years and the crowd loved them all regardless of how much I tried to screw it up. Next time leave the head on, stuff an apple in the mouth, red or green grapes in the eye sockets and auction off who gets to (or has to) kiss the pig for photos. Another way to raise a few bucks for the cause. Congrats on the cook!

                      The Good-One Open Range is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. By placing the heat source behind and under the smokebox instead of off to the side, Open Range produces even temperature from left to right, something almost impossible to achieve with a standard barrel shaped offset.

                      kareubequ bbq smoker

                      The amazing Karubecue is the most innovative smoker in the world. The quality of meat from this machine is astonishing. At its crux is a patented firebox that burns logs above the cooking chamber and sucks heat and extremely clean blue smoke into the thermostat controlled oven. It is our favorite smoker, period.

                      This is the first propane smoker with a thermostat, making this baby foolproof. Set ThermoTemp's dial from 175? to 350?F and the thermostat inside will adjust the burner just like an indoor kitchen oven. All you need to do is add wood to the tray above the burner to start smokin'.

                      Napoleon's NK22CK-C Charcoal Kettle Grill puts a few spins on the familiar kettle design. In fact, the hinged lid with a handle on the front, spins in a rotary motion 180 degrees. It's hard to beat a Weber kettle, but Napoleon holds its own and adds some unique features to make the NK22CK-C a viable alternative.
