Hog Roast

Over the weekend we went to our youngest son and his girlfriends for a hog roast.  Wow, I never knew what a lot of work something like that entailed. I'll let the pictures tell the story. If you are wondering...it was delicious!  Everyone brought a side dish and OMGoodness what a lot of good food we had!  We had so much help from family and friends, fed around 100 people.

Digging the hole around 7 foot deep................

Laid the grating on concrete blocks..............then covered with metal and cornstalks and dirt to seal.

Prepping the hog with marinate and rub.  Stuffed with apples and garlic. Wrapped in foil, burlap and then chicken wire.

Getting the coals ready...hickory wood.

Lowering into the pit

De-boning the pork

Setting up the picnic.....

Our hosts, cute huh?
