Here is the 39 pound pig we cooked for Jerry's graduation party.

Dad gets busy preparing it with the Cajun injector.

Almost ready for the fire.

Now he's almost ready for the smoker. We wire his legs to the grill so he can't slip off while putting him in or turning him.

This is the last wire.

Joey gets busy lighting the smoker.

The wood is in. Now a little lighter fluid.

And let's see if we can light it.

Is it lit?????????

Now the pig goes in. Barely fits.

Looking good!

Grandma was here for the event. Here she is with David.

The pig is about done the next morning.

Out of the smoker.

Peel off the skin to get to the yummy meat!
