Professor John Beeler at UA would be proud of you at his Annual Porkorama event in his backyard. You ought to see the eyes light up when we pull the pork out of the fridge and start to pull 3 or 4 butts at once. He is from Western NC, so it is right tasty BBQ. I always take a quart of my grandmother's homemade preserved hot slaw: she makes vingear slaw with cabbage and carrots and then uses vinegar soaked in hot peppers several weeks to finish it when canned. I bring a gallon or so of Bishop's vinegar sauce for those afflicted with the red disease. A few years ago a friend from Canada got into severe trouble when he asked for some ketchup for his sandwich. Everyone from North Alabama and NC jumped on him, and even a feller from SC and another gal from Pensacola. I think the trauma set his dissetation back a few months, adjusting to all that vinegary goodness.
I must confess, I'm not a big fan of the vinegary type sauce...I like a ketchup based if I have to buy one, otherwise I like to make mine from the drippings that collect in the cooler while the meat rests. I go for mildly sweet, but definitely spicy.
Do you do your own smoking too? I have a Lang Model 84, but am about to purchase a Primo XL ceramic cooker too for smaller jobs. My Lang is great, but you need to be cooking at least 50 pounds of meat to make it worth firing it up. I named mine The Big Pig. Here's a link to where their website: Lang Cookers

Kindrid, Manda, TSC, Joy, Smurf only post on occasion now, PBA is gone, Brentenman is in Iraq shooting his guns at people and having a great time, interventor is in Europe (he may come back with a somewhat more open mind), and many more I can't think of right now.
There are less people now starting new subjects, PBA started about 10 threads a day, and since he isn't here any longer there are a lots of less threads going on.
I miss 'em all !
Aw, thanks for noticing, excelman. *hugs* I lost a friend this past week. Those things change your focus & priorities. I'm not going anywhere but trying to put first things first. I am so blessed and you guys are one of my blessings.
Thanks for noticing excelman. They have me working my butt off out here. I pop on here to read every once in a while, but hardly ever have time to post. I'd say "hopefully things will go back to normal", but I enjoy the job security!!! Take care - and I miss y'all too!quote:Originally posted by excelman:

Thanks for checking in, TSC; I was about to send bamachik out looking for you!
Joy, TSC, glad y'all didn't fall off into the abyss. I miss your input, hope you get more free time in the near future.
