[@BL-mf5dn]

[@moisescontreras1168]

[@penelopehammock443]

Living in Alabama is a great deal ! I'm loving your videos & have learned so much. Y'all warm my heart and seeing all you do together makes my day! Appreciate y'all !

[@CaptainValian]

Jeff, you're a good man. I love that you have involved Hanna and brought her up to be independent and capable.

[@rudy52350]

I could almost smell that cooking . You guys live the life we wish we had . Away from the hustle and the bustle , out side cooking or what ever and no one to bother you . Thanks for the vid ....

[@fredgillick3071]

Hey Jeff, I enjoy your cooking videos about as much as your building projects, hunting, catfish noodling with your daughter. Also, the love you and Hannah have for eachother. I appreciate all of your videos and you can bet a couple of your recipes will be tried up here in Michigan.

[@sportsmanblack]

Outstanding video, Jeff, very educational and informative. I very much like your methods of cooking indoors and out.

[@jesusmatters4222]

Im doing a pork shoulder right now...I smoke mine at 260 deg until it reaches an internal temp of 200 Deg F. It renders the fat down to juice, and the pork is just out of this world. Everyone that tries it says its the very best they have ever had - McCormick "Sweet and Smokey" seasoning is sooooooooooo good. Just a tip from a fellow outdoorsman. God bless Ya'll

[@williamcooke6056]

I'm going to try that, thanks!

Next time you get the chance...try cooking the pig with just vinegar and red pepper flakes......that’s how it’s done in Eastern NC

"Appreciate y'all"! lol Say Hey to Hannah for me. Have a great day sir, Pig looks Awesome!!

[@vernbower]

I was watchin' yer video and reminiscin' about past times when we did such things. THEN, layin' here all by myself, I ripped a big ol' fart!! My cat freaked out and jumped off the bed. It was right exactly then that you said, in yer video, Mmm, smells good!!! I ain't lyin" Thanks fer the video and the timing of yer words. Got a great laugh. God bless.

[@michaelrogers4285]

Thank you Mr. Jeff, and Miss Hannah 👍. Go-to cook a pig later this Fall, my first one.

Nice. Here in western pa we have an abundance of heat oil drums made into pig roasters. Dump in a few bags of charcoal, close it up, and wire it shut to prevent people looking in and letting in too much air and the heat out.

[@davidraines2873]

Dang Jeff my mouth was watering and I couldn’t even smell it. My son built one of those for a guy that had a crank handle and the height could be adjusted. That thing did great job. I enjoyed the video brother and you flung a craven on me

[@georgemoody4153]

[@kerryhurd7738]

Great job roasting em you two make a great team love watching both you guys channels looks delicious thank you for sharing

[@texasdboxoutdoors746]

Just an idea, I cook my pig on a pit exactly like your setup but, I build my fire on the outside of the pit and shovel in coals as I need them. Every time I build a fire inside the pit, I always over cook my pig. Anyway, just a thought. GR8 Vid!

[@sidney.j.tokona-kemp3679]

Thank you soooo much Jeff I love learning new things every day. But I eat soooo much pig cooked slow & low & basted with butter I also injected it with home made apple source just like you showed me & I hurt myself very badly.....but it was worth every second of pain my tummy. Absolutely awesome eating. Can't wait to try more new things from y'all.

Looks great. I used to help an old friend cook for our club picnics . We would do a 80# pig, 2 - 25# beef rounds and 3-20# hams!!! I understand how good that pork is!! Nothing better!! Great video love Meral!! Now I'm hungry!! 😋😋

[@JoeL.Derrick-eh2ej]

Great video dad/daughter and look forward to trying this cooking method.

[@garypollard9770]

Never tried this. Have cooked a pig and a goat in the ground. I will have to say that was some of the best eating I ever had! Including the goat! The meat was just so tender it just very easily pulled from the bone! This was done on an overnight fishing trip by the way. Put the pig and the goat in the ground and it simmered all night. Had a mess of catfish just in case the meat in the ground didn’t turn out. Took the fish home! That looks delicious! Love the garlic and butter idea!

[@pablopalma7670]

hey @Gary Pollard how did you guys do the pig?

[@Steve.Cutler]

[@nathanellsworth7085]

I’m a little late to the party but if you remove one of those bottom bricks you’ll get some good air flow, you can throw logs in through the hole & you can dampen those flames by pushing the coals around. Looks good man, enjoy! 🤙🏼🇺🇸

[@jameswallace3043]

Thanks Jeff it's been very informative I enjoyed it but I'm not in the situation where I can pick out those little pigs like you so it's hard for me to go out on the market and buy them because I'm on the road traveling and working but you know what I can still grill when I'm on the road thanks buddy

[@mayflorborge8977]

The crackling crispy skin is the best part!

[@ade5393]

Seeing the thumbnail of the man holding the dog and the dog curiously looking at the grill...priceless

[@kyletango]

The first time that I was involved in cooking a whole hog like this was back in the late sixties, I went with my neighbors to their grand parents who lived in Brundidge AL. We went to a hog farm a got a live hog, scalded it and scraped the hair off. We went and cut wood. Then after getting everything set up we went to Pea River and skinny dipped to clean up.

[@jerryhyche]

Would love to meet you and Hannah. Y'all are Awesome people. God Bless y'all...

Hey there my mouth is already watering and it looks yummy 😋

[@TACLife]

I've cooked probably 100+ hogs this way since I was a child. Never done a smaller one like that. Nothing beats it. We always did the fire on the side and shoveled coals from it. left one side of the block wall open to add coals and rake them to even heat out/ add more heat to the butt and shoulders etc. Made life easier. Love seeing others do this. It's the best! Hardest part is not sneaking a pound of "quality control" pieces off it haha

[@rafterL78]

Hey Taclife would it help to peel the skin off about 30 min before it's done to brown that layer of fat or would that just cause a major grease fire??

[@TACLife]

@@rafterL78 never tried it and it's never seemed necessary. I feel it would make a colossal mess. Definitely some flare up madness. But ya never know until you try I reckon! Depending on the event we've been known to pull the shoulders and legs and take them to a table. Chop or pull everything. Put them back in aluminum pans until it's time to dig in. Hope that helps!

[@rafterL78]

Makes sense, I just know that bark sure adds flavor when we do butts.Thanks for your reply.

[@TimCheney-l9m]

I got a wash tub flipped upside-down that holds the heat and holds the smoke around the cook .helps hold moisture and less coals

Man that looks delicious. Uum, uum good! The pork skin that's not burnt you could Season them with cayenne pepper put it on a sheet pan and bake them in the oven. After they come out the oven put whatever hot sauce you want on them and they taste better than the pork skins in the store. Because the pig you're cooking is fresh. Or should I say, that's how we did it!

[@RyanPerkins-lm7cb]
