Still not sure yet. Might do Prime Rib, might do ham. Money is tight
right now so we will decide tomorrow. Tomorrow is the deadline for
ordering a Prime and still having a few days to age it.

Not sure if you'd count this but my turkey, while not inside of a
smoker, will be done low and slow over a wood fire.

My neighbors are going to pit roast A whole hog. I am invited. I previously
posted pictures of their rig, but can post it again if anybody wants
to see how they do it. (A link to pics that is)

No xmass anything, but planning on a New Years day dinner with a slow
smoked rib roast, baked sweet potatoes and popovers. Nothing too fancy,
just a simple dinner.

I'd like to see it. I am very interested in spits.

If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible
warning.

Here's a link to the pictures of a recent whole hog block party. We're going
to
have another one for Christmas. They build a new pit for each party. There's
ten
or more men to help with the labor so it's not a problem.

Had a hard time accessing the gallery, and then couldn't find any
picks of the spit or the whole hog?

Cooking for immediate family and extended in-laws. A 21lbs pre-
brined, frozen
bird was given to me, so it has been relaxing in an ice chest water
bath at 34-36F.
I'll let it go up to 40F Saturday. I was planning on a conventional
oven-roast but
the BBQ insanity has possessed me and I've decided to smoke it using
Chris
Lilly's "mostly wrapped" method, which sounds pretty darn fine, though
I expect
it'll take 10h. Glad I can let The Stoker do the work while I sleep.

I'm also probably going to do a couple racks of competition-style ribs
for fun.

A Merry Christmas to all my Christmas-celebratin' friends -
Dana
