Wild pig cookout! **Maiden voyage!

[@bduncan9724]

It's amazing what a good welder can do with an old propane tank...best pit made in my opinion

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

They’re tough as can be and perfectly sized!

[@cheryladams7945]

What a delightful family McGie and what a wonderful family man you are. There is NOTHING like a family cookout on a beautiful day. Cookouts Thanksgiving and Christmas are the best family times 🥰

Man I could smell that pig cookin in south Georgia. Could you taste the fruits and vegetables in the meat? Thanks for sharing Micah and hope you have a blessed week my friend.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

I didn’t think the meat took on the flavors of the fruits and vegetables….. but it probably did a little…… the moisture was the biggest reason I put them in…… and they really help with that!

[@ChuckisOutside]

I enjoyed the way you cooked the pig. It was good to see your neighbors and your family eating and having fun playing spike ball. Good times Micah! Thanks sir.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Thanks brother! I really enjoy getting together with friends and family! A pig can really bring people together!😂

[@kennethhopson7087]

McGie, the shiny side of the aluminum foil reflects the heat to the way you place it. If you put the shiny side towards the meat, it will reflect the heat on the meat. If you put the shiny side of the aluminum foil on the outside of the meat, it will reflect the heat away from the meat 🍖

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Very true!!

[@oldhag8139]

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

[@HighVerbal]

Meant to say I cracked up when you were aggervating Miss Grace .. she's 2nd to Frank for watching you trade witty remarks with . You have found her Aggervation Button ! .. You should have told her when you asked if she like carrots , and she said "Yes." , that Giant Rabbits LOVE carrots and that's why there is so many in this rabbit's stomach .. in fact , this giant cooked rabbit loved carrots So Much , he swallowed them WHOLE

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

😂😂😂😂😂 I’ll send this comment to her parents and they can handle this!😂😂😂

[@adrockey]

Great video! You should hit Costco or Sam's up for some commercial grade aluminum foil. It's about 40 to $45 a roll but it's definitely worth it when it comes to smoking meat. I love my old stick burner smoker. These guys that have the pellet smokers. I call him a man's Easy-Bake oven. Always good to maintain the old ways so you're not dependent on technology.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Great advice! I’m definitely not going depend on technology any more than necessary!😂

Great I have cooked with a lot of wood but never tried ceder

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

You’d love it!

[@cody8754]

I wonder if you caught some wild piglets and fattened them up if they would compare to the manga pigs. They’d probably be decent pasture pigs if you trap some that are young enough to bottle tame.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

It would be illegal here but they probably do it somewhere!

[@jerrybinkley9227]

You should brine it in salt apple juice water and brown sugar for about 5 days

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

That would be great!!

[@dewittjackson432]

Cedar for real thought that was a no no when cooking

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

If it was toxic they wouldn’t grill salmon on cedar planks😂😂😂

[@charleshowell7855]

Never would’ve used eastern red cedar as a smoking wood? It’s not really a cedar but a juniper. They do use the berries to flavor alcohol (gin).

That’s interesting! Well you should try it sometime it is great!

[@henrymiller3654]

how long did you have the pig in the smoker ? before you took it back out to put on the seasoning on?

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

A couple hours. It would be fine if it was just an hour or up to three hours. Just depends on how much smoke you want.

[@robertlong4118]

Question , what make model and horsepower is your meat grinder ? I like the videos. Keep up the good work .

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

It’s a SamBaere brand and I think it’s 3/4 hp….. I don’t think they make them anymore but I’m not sure!

[@JustinDOehlke]

If cedar can be used to bbq, what about other evergreens such as pine, spruce, cypress, etc.? I'm not sure why I always thought it wasn't safe.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

The other pines are not unsafe, but the sap can make the meat bitter.
