Looks incredibly labor intensive, but I bet it was worth it! We're looking to attend some BBQs this summer that friends are holding and there has been the threat of whole pig -- something I don't think we can pass up. Should be quite awesome.

Huge shindigs like that make me really want a back yard.

It took two days, one day of inital prep and a second half day of completely cooking, from 8 am to about 7pm. But with a group and a keg of beer, it was a lot of fun and something I would do again if I could get a crowd big enough to make it worth while.

We had a 'pig pickin' a couple weekends ago. Dumbass me forgot my camera.

Couple of beef roasts done slow in the smoker over night, about twenty hours. Yes, I love garlic.

Before

and

After.

Garlic studded for your oral pleasure.

Man that looks tastey. I'm heading to the store to see what I can grill tonight.

Queen - I had one guest, not a big deal. He understood. I just whipped out my trusty grill pan and all was cooked.

Urbane - I am trying to do it without the user of match light or lighter fluid. I keep reading that it leaves an aftertaste on lighter flavored meats like chicken which is what I primarily eat. No worries, I haven't given up yet.

Charcoal isn't that flammable actually! They make a device for people like yourself, a chimney starter.

I never had much luck with mine, but it wasn't the Weber. I might get the Weber and try again. That page has a cool idea, start it with a sterno can instead of using newspapers. As we know, print is dead.

capnhowdy · 05-04-2009, 04:13 PM

Mine works great but it sometimes doesn't start enough at one filling. I need a huge one.

I had good luck with using some of those fire starter squares that look to be made of compressed sawdust and paraffin. As long as you put enough of them in the bottom and there is space for air to flow through, it'll go. Everything burned down very nicely to fine, white ash. (Wondering if I can add it to the garden or if it has substances in it that will harm the plants rather than help.)

The chimney I have says on the label to not use starter fluid for some reason. (?)

Chimneys work great , but take some getting used to ,
tip 1 ) use just a Bit of cooking oil on the paper
tip 2 ) Shield the bottom so the wind does NOT blow thru it , but so that air can Flow in as need be
tip 3 ) DINNER AT Vs House !!!!!!
