Hog roast at 30 degrees

[Backroadmeats]

Today I am smoking some pulled pork for a friend's house warming party. I got a good deal on a 500 lb sow so I cut the front shoulders off and cut into 2 inch thick roasts. It is 30 degrees and raining/snowing and the party starts at 1:00. How could this possibly go wrong??

May the Force be with you.

10-4, it was 0C here this morning put on my shorts and a hoodie and sparked up the Keg
....but its a bit to early for a bourbon even in my books

[ecowper]

Backroadmeats I'm sure you're up for the challenge! Good luck today. Don't send that weather south for a little while. We're about 3 hours away from you.

[Backroadmeats]

Thanks skip. I saw on the news you guys are staying a little warmer than us. But unfortunately reality will eventually set in!!

There’s somethin about that pic of a big honkin cooker & the little chimley of charcoal! 🕶

[Backroadmeats]

I fill up the chimney then pour the rest of the bag in the smoker.. two bags down but running at about 275

Looks like an epic day of cookin, Brother!

Ahm'a rifle through th cabinets, seems I recall havin some microwave popcorn rat-holed up in there...

[Backroadmeats]

I wish I had the day to do it.. I butchered it last night the cut the front shoulders into roasts at 4:30 this morning. Party starts at 1:00 so I am pushing it a little bit!!

[HawkerXP]

I think that is a little too low n slow.

Looks like a fun day. Better then sittin in a treestand on a cold wet day.

[HawkerXP]

I need to talk to you some time about butchering a pig / what to ask for.

[Backroadmeats]

Sure ask away!!

[Backroadmeats]

Getting there

[holehogg]

I see you online so I trust all went well. Need I even ask😊
I'm sure it all turned out great given your expertise.

[Backroadmeats]

holehogg yes all went well I didn't get any finished pics as I made the delivery 5 minutes before the party started!! Cutting it close!!

[BigJimE]

Looking good so far.

Stay Calm and Smoke On!!

[gcdmd]

So, how did it work out? Well, I hope.

[Backroadmeats]

Yes it went well but I delivered with five minutes to go before the party started

[Spinaker]

Yeah! How did this cook go? I still need to stop by the shop on my way up north one of these times.

[Backroadmeats]
