My folks knew I was interested in a pig but had chosen not to buy one there this year. Financially it just wasn't he right time. Kids were getting 2.75-3.00 a pound and then it's another buck or so a pound to process plus a kill fee. They pick up a blue ribbon 256lb Duroc that was bred by friends of ours that have been at it for years. Lots of booster groups buy animals and donate them back to various charities. They set a price per pound for animals on the resale board and you can get a decent deal. Some get sold straight to packer, but most are donated to scholarship funds or support funds. Packer price was .60/lb. resale board they paid 1.40/lb. I've been tasked with deciding how we want it cut, and apparently it's going to be "stored" in my freezer. Look at the ham on that baby!

DNP Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 I was guessing brisket. Gotta come up with something here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmackc Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 so not hog meat, that narrows it down somewhat. Maybe cow meat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shepp Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 Seperated, trimmed, pumped, rubbed and ready for the morning. Ps: don't believe what sites say about it being hard to separating the point from the flat. between YouTube and a basic knowledge of butchering it was super easy.

I was on a schedualish, wanted to eat at 5. Fluctuated between 250 and 225 mostly 225. Put the point above the flat let it drip on the flate started it at 7am took both off right around 4pm, foiled both put them in the cooler for an hour and pulled them. Bark was alittle soft, but not mushy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sisco Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) No pics but brined three pork shoulders on Friday, followed by a 14 hour smoke on Saturday. Started at 4am, went fishing on the big lake, came back in time to replenish the wood. Finally took off at 5:45 pm. Served my homemade barbeque on the side, because my son said the bark was to good to cover with barbeque sauce no matter how good it is. Next week, my turn at a monster brisket. Will take pictures this time. Made mexican style pork tamales yesterday, and still have a ton left. Edited May 31, 2016 by Sisco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DNP Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Sisco, what did you use for the brine and what was the rub prep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt Lick. It is okay, but don't use too much because it is salty! and has a lot of heat. The brine was straightforward. five cups of salt in a big turkey fryer kettle with the three pork shoulders. Eight Bay leaves, and four table spoons of pepper and enough water to float the shoulders. Edited May 31, 2016 by Sisco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisco Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) This isn't grilling, but I am pulling some of my fish in the freezer today to whip up a mess of fish chowder. In this case I am using Lake Trout and Coho Salmon from Lake Superior. My personal recipe below. Ingredients: Your favorite fish, works best with salmonids or whitefish. 2 or 3 small(2 lb-4lb) fish. Filet or cook whole. 3 strips thick cut bacon 3 peeled russet potatoes( peeling optional) one onion or a leek if you prefer. two stalks celery, or if you don;t like cooked celery you can substitute celery seed. 1 can chicken stock 1 qt cream one sprig Rosemary Old Bay seasoning.(gotta have Old Bay!) 1 sliced carrot(optional) 1 cup of frozen, canned or fresh corn. Season the fish and put in the oven and bake. Don't overcook, you will want it still moist. Dice the bacon and cook in the bottom of a dutch oven or a pasta pot until crisp, add the potatoes cubed 1/4 inc or so along with the chopped celery and onion and carrots. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are soft. Add the corn, cooked fish(deboned and pieced up), Chop up the Rosemary needles add, and add cream until your desired consistency. Season to your taste with the Old Bay. Bring it back up to a low boil then reduce heat and simmer for half an hour stirring frequently. If you like a thicker chowder, dissolve some flour in hot water and add sparingly and stir until the simmering brings it to desired thickness. Enjoy. If you try it let me know if you like it. I will post a picture of it later. Edited May 31, 2016 by Sisco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
