Subject: Are You Looking For Me.LOL

Well good moring all:

I had to think about the way i would discribe our test run on Sat as you know my typing sucks.LOL
It started out with me driving down to the St. Lawerance(sp) market at 5;30am to pick up the 70lb pig. I was at my work by
about 6:30am & i then had to spend time getting things organized for my employees so they could go right to work. It was about
8am when i started to wash the beast with vinager & water & then skinned it to about 65% of the way. I used a dry rub on both
the inside & out & let sit for approximately 1-1/2 hrs covered with foil. In the mean time , i fired up the briquettes so i could
bring the cooker to temp ( 350F) with coals on two corners only ( at the front of the cooker). At about 9;30am my
brother(Wayne) & brother-inlaw( Vince) showed up to help place the pig in the rotisserie basket & at 9;40am Daren had
dropped his wife off at the airport & drove here. I should have phoned his home to check cause it just dawned on me that he
may have wanted to sleep in & his wife was still at home.LOL
So after a few team pictures on went the pig & it was time to pop open a cap or two( after all it was our first pig on this unit &
Daren told me he took the battery out of his watch some months ago, now it stopped at 12;00 noon, so it would always be
Miller time.LOL The weather was for the most part staying at 2C above with mostly clear sky's & very little wind. This made
for a great day to try out the pig cook to give us some idea how the unit would stand up. Things went along at an even pace ,
but i noticed that the cement where a had place my chimney burner was starting to blow nice round circles in the cement ( oh
well, past the point of no return now, will look at that in the spring, maybe i should lay down some fire brick next time.LOL
Sometime around 3:00 people had come & gone after looking at the cooker & then this chap showed up holding a bottle of
wine. I thought it was a co-worker of Daren but when he introduced himself as Peter i realized he was from the CBSA form. I
introduced him to Daren & unfortunatly was tied up with customers for a while but Peter understood & blended right in with the
gang. At 5;00pm and again more pics we removed the golden brown hog & let it sit for about 1hr & i made the first cut at
6;00pm. The flavor was nice & the meat was moist. I did not know how to carve it & i got no help cause they all kept saying,
it's your first pig on the new uint, so you have fun. (the pigs balls were cut up nice & thin & served to all those who said that &
you thought it was tenderloin . LOL ) Just kidding. After one of my pant legs was all wet from the pig juices I put my apron
back on & began to destroy the poor thing big time, but i did have fun thou.
To end it off, we served pork, fresh buns, potato salad & coleslaw, along with Peter wine, Daren's( secret) sauce & lots more
beer. We want to try to cook a larger pig, over 100lbs & lay it flat on the grate that is being made . So thank you to Daren and
everyone that showed up to watch, help, drink, & make Sat such a great day. Peter it was pleasure to meet you & we now
want to hear about the feast you were cooking up on your new Klose. Thanks for the invite & i have added your home address
to my file for the next trial run.
