CONTINUED FROM PART 1....
well the smokers were ready to go. the sides were prepared. and the food was put on.
We went to the local beer store and bought 3 kegs. The store was nice enough to let us keep one of hte purchased kegs in thier walk in fridge until we needed it later on that day. that way we didnt need as much ice. so we loaded up our first keg and put the second in the corner with some ice on it.
Guests started to arrive and play some cornhole. Joey Bones on the right. The cornhole champ.
While guests were having a good time... i was busy on teh side foiling up the ribs. Foiled them with butter, honey and brown sugar.
while i was busy foiling up the ribs, the boat load of ABT's waited to be put on the racks!
What a great sight! the cooker was full. i cooked 8 racks of ribs on the cinder block smoker and 2 racks on my pit. along with the chickens, ABT's and fattys. My friend also brought clams that we ate raw, but we also threw some on the smoker as well. Turns out we didnt eat those though. he just doesnt understand that a smoker is not as hot as a grill, and they never really opened up liek they do when he throws em over direct heat.
Thats me loading in the ABT's!

Nice wide shot of me checking on the ribs.
Here lies the pig... waiting.... cooking...
Put a little coating of sauce on the ribs to give em a glaze n popped em back on the smoker for about another 45-1hr.
Heres a quick shot of the "fattys" and one of hte batches of ABT's. really left those ABT's on for about an hour, almost an hour and a half. let em get nice and done the bacon. as usual... they were a hit.
Ut oh! i was caught loading my mouth with ABT's! :heh:
givin the ribs a check! more bc i was asked to for the pic... i knew they werent ready yet.... but close!
Here are the ribbies all cut up. not all of them. i was only cutting up a rack or two at a time.
They came out pretty decent. Not the best but not bad! they came out well enough that i was happy and knew everyone was enjoying a very good rib. it was very hard to get all 10 racks perfect at the same time, so they couldnt be the best ribs i ever made. but nobody else knew that!
THEN THE MOMENT WE WERE ALL WAITING FOR....
TIME TO DIG UP THE PIGGY!
AND WE DUG...
AND WE DUG....
AND....
UT OH....
with every shovel of dirt something just didnt seem right...
The pig was still raw. and nasty. and ruined
uke: and smelled.
Heres AJ trying to talk to me and make me feel better. I was pretty bummed.
Well what we think happened is that the ground water was so high and we didnt put enough room between it and the coals. only about a half inch. The water must have absorbed all the heat, and also the dampness probably just put out the coals. Especially when theres all the moisture and dampness below them and we put the wet burlap on top, it was just too much and they died out. The dirt on top of the ground was warm in hte morning, so we werent sure. but mother nature just felt like ruining our pig this year.
But there was plenty of beer to keep the night carrying on in a good mood!
And cornhole continued late into the night!!!
So the bottom line is that the pig didnt work out the way we planned. But there was so much food that everyone was stuffed anyway. I dont think anyone was even hungry anymore by the time we went to dig up the pig. We had no leftovers at all. Which is a first at one of my BBQ's. i usually way over do it with the food. Last year i had people taking home chunks of the pig bc we didnt eat half of it.
So even though the pig was unsuccessful, i can still say overall the "pig roast" was still a success. and itll make great stories for years to come. (we seem to get a great story every pig roast)
Everyone still had a blast!!! (and needed some water in the morning)... just ask Mr. Patti...
he was hurtin.
THE END.
thanks everyone for reading!!!
ALSO
for anyone interested... what happened to the pig you might ask? Well... that in itself is a nice story.
I commissioned 3 friends to bring it to the local school and throw it in the dumpster.
We wrapped it in the burlap and then the tarp. This thing looked like a body. i swear. We loaded it in a trunk and off they went.
:idea: then someone got a great idea when they got to the school.
THEY DECIDED IT WOULD BE BETTER TO THROW IT IN THE POND/SWAMP RIGHT ON THE SIDE OF TEH SCHOOL BC IT WOULD "SINK!" :doh::doh::doh:
i cant believe nobody has seen it yet, floating in the pond. its a matter of time. then a teacher will be notified. someone will overreact and think its gotta be a body in the pond. the school will then be sent home and the police will be brought in. the police in this town will take hours to get a row boat, so they will probably close the street with crime scene tape, and itll be in the newspaper. :doh::doh::doh:
so if you ever see a tarp that looks like a body floating in a pond, just remember, before you overreact, just think if anyone in town was having a pig roast that weekend!
well the smokers were ready to go. the sides were prepared. and the food was put on.
