Loved the video.. it reminds me of a pig picking when I 1st moved to North Carolina..The wind was blowing my way.. the smell was soooo good..the taste was good too...
It's a great sight to see Americas or anybody for that matter have a family gathering and keeping our traditional values and more so sharing it with our next generation. It's a beautiful thing to have family cookouts theses days since people forget what family values are and to be free to gather anytime you want and enjoy each other's company.. God Bless
I remember our so called family used to do things like this but when grama and grandpa passed it all went south family ain't family like we used to be I admire you folks I wished ours was like that again but that would take a act of God. Love your recipes.
You brought back some long ago, wonderful, memories. First frost of every year, my uncle killed a hog or 2 and using a big homemade A frame with a winch positioned over a 55 gallon barrel of boiling water, he bled, gutted the hog then swung it over to be dunked into the water for a bit then swung it over to a couple of old pallets and we started scraping. This was the mid 1950s and the smokehouse was made ready for the meat that needed cured and the freezer was cleaned and ready for the rest of it including the home sewn, unbleached muslin bags we made for sausage. We were dirt poor but, never went hungry because of the garden, the farm animals we raised and used as food. Smoked pork was so good and still a favorite of my family.
Thank you hillbilly catching for the share I done mini pigs like you've done and enjoyed it and brought back old memories and good memories God bless you and your family and give the little one a big hug my youngest one is two and a half years old now reminds me so much of yours God bless you God protect you and God loves you
We used to keep a pile of sand next to the pit to deal with flare-ups. This brought back a lot of happy memories of good times and old friends who are gone now. Almost brought a tear to my eye. This is exactly the way I was taught to do it. We'd make a dipping sauce from Apple cider vinegar, paprika, cayenne pepper and melted butter. It was hot stuff but good.
A lot of work but so much fun to do! We used to have pig roasts when I was a kid. Hoping to organize one this summer for a Tucker Reunion. God Bless your family and thanks for sharing your channel and your faith with us all. xxx
We live in Florida, but we did wild whole hogs in a pit for the 4th and Labor Day. My brother-in-law also boiled the hogs head in a steel drum for the filed hands, one of their favorite things. We did this for years.
Hi Becky,I am from amsterdam netherlands.I watch your videos and i love them.Tried some recepis and they are very good.Also when you talk about god and the way you talk about live makes me very happy.Lots of love and blesses from Annet from amsterdam
I have watched this video a few times lol I finally made my husband watch it so we could do a pig pic n cause here where I live in North Carolina we love a good pig pic n with alot of family and friends so thanks for sharing I love your videos . Best wishes to your family may you all continue being blessed .
Thank you for this video, m'am! Learned again some extra things, eg the volume of wood needed for a Pig Pickin' and the timing of adding new coals! Hope that one day I can do the same thing, here in Belgium (Europe)!
looks like my sweet neighbors and their family have so much fun and enjoyment.its what life is all about.looks yummy i might add.great to see ritter again.and charlotte,honey,you got the best of everything.parents who love you more than life and grandparents who also love you so much,their little angel,i love you all,your neighbors joyce and keira and terry,
Bravo! You hit it out of the park with this one. This has to be the most exciting videos that I've watched on RUclips this week. And lil Charolette is getting so big!
Never tried this with a pig, we always raised our own. Helped my uncle do this with a deer one year for Thanksgiving, only we dug the fire pit down about a foot. Took all night and 1/2 the next day. It was delicious.
That's the way I was raised to cook a hog plus we always cooked a Brunswick stew in a black warsh pot... Some family members still cook a hog for the family reunion each year.. We still cook stew in the warsh pot and we also cook chicken leg quarters on a rack over the pit.. that's some good eating.
Hello Becky. What a wonderful video. I sure did enjoy it. I would trade living in California for the country life in a minute! It's so beautiful, peaceful and open where you live. California is a zoo. The only thing it's got going for us is the sunny weather. Thank you for sharing your family traditions and life with us. I do appreciate it. God bless you Becky and your wonderful family. :)
If you have the grate lower, you don't need as many coals. Helps prevent flare ups because the grease soaks the few coals rather than being lit by many. Also, if you use a burn barrel with a grate 3/4 way down you use less wood. Scoop the coals out of a port in the side of the bottom of the barrel.
Hi, I'm a new subscriber & I've been watching a lot of ur newer & older videos the past couple days. I love ur recipes, my favorite kind of food is down home country cooking (and I love Italian food too). I noticed u haven't been making as many newer videos lately, but if u can, please make more. I love the food u cook!
Enjoyed watching the all night pig cook. Me and my brother's use to do that at Christmas when mom & dad was still with us. Tuff break on the grease fire. May need a little more space between the coal and meat grate. Sorry you didn't show flippin the pig, seasoning and saucing. The way we were taught in SC was cook meat side down. When done, flip over like you prolly did. Pour some vinegar over the meat, salt til it's white, black pepper til it's black, red pepper til it's red, then work in the vinegar based sauce while diggin into the hams n shoulders with a large long handle spoon. After all that is mised in good, refire and get the skin into cracklin. Looked like a grand ole time and brought back lots of memories. And yes Jesus is Lord.
Becky, I keep checking in to see if you have posted another video. Please come back. You are such an asset to RUclips. I learn so much from your videos. Even us city girls can learn from you. 😊
Needs a drip pan under pig to catch drippings and it wont catch on fire. We've cooked on a wooden box lined with sheetmetal. Has a sheetmetal top where you build fire. Hole in corner of bottom fir dripping. Coonass microwave is usually what its called. I love the whole hog cooking. It all is so tender and moist except skin and it crunchy like pig skins
That looked like a nice family get together... cookin that pig! Some good eats ya'll had! Thanks for sharing... sometime I want to cook a pig too... We're supposed to cook our turkey underground for Thanksgiving! Never did that... yet!
What did he say for her to be all acting up like that at 10:50? "No I didn't" doesn't look like a proper reason for drama. wonderful to watch a pig roast so up close, thank you!
It's great to see you back, I was thinking while I watched this how clever the 'old' country people used to be, no gadgets & gizmos but things like this down to a science. (Nice to see the men working away 😁) They would have been roasting one pig while they worked at preserving another, and everyone involved. You'd have to learn how to do this at your Daddy's knee wouldn't you? So one day maybe Charlotte will host one for you & Bret. Great video Thank You.
Hi hope all is well with you and yours! Trying to prepare for this hurricane. Praying and holding on is all I can do. Hope you all are well and will not be effected. Was in Asheville and cherokee for a few days and thought of you. Love the Mts. and hope to go back soon. Take care and blessings!
Actually was up there o n business the other week. Really enjoyed it and have been less stressed since. Riding this one out at home. Hotels are full and triple priced. Thanks for your prayers! Hug Charlotte for me so glad to hear from you. Gods blessings!
just seeing this. I love , I love it, I love it. u boys done a good job. gotta try this. lots of room to outside cook a lotta stuff at the same time too. man love that set-up. thank you. buying my cinder blocks today. making a barndoor this weekend. least I'm gonna try my hand at making it. great video.
Hi Becky, Just wanted to say I sure miss you and Charlotte and the family. Hopefully, life will slow down and you all can return to making video's.. Wishing you all the best.. God Bless..
While you were smoking your wonderful BBQ I was on a plane to Scotland. While you were eating your delicious looking food, I was eating haggis with neeps and tatties. Haggis ... everything leftover from a sheep but the BAA. Neeps and Tatties... turnips and potatoes cooked and mashed together. The haggis wasn't too bad but I bet your pig was better. God Bless
So beautiful where you live! I lived in the Ozarks for 12 years and it kind of reminds me of there. I am in Florida now but am working on getting back to the Ozarks. The only thing better in Florida is beaches and no winter. But the rivers in the Ozarks make up for it because they are so beautiful and clear. And that pig is making me drool! Anyone who has not experienced a pig roast like that is missing one of life's great pleasures. SOOOOO delicious! Did you raise that pig yourself? Home grown pork tastes so much better than what you can buy in the store. Blessings to you and your family.
Wow ! It's been a while since I've been to a pig roast , they're always fun for a lot of folks. Glad that your family and friends had a wonderful time . Always good to see you post a video . Also nice to hear OUR accent on u tube ! Thank you for allowing us to share your wonderful gathering .
I hope all is all right with you and Brett and the rest of your family have not seen any of your videos and more than four months just a little concerned about your well-being. Hope all is well God bless.
Hey Becky I love your channel I'm a West Virginia Hill Billiy and I'm new comer to your channel but I noticed when you use your salt and pepper that you take the lid off and I know why it takes for ever to get the amounts you need But I fixed that i simply took my handy dandy drill with a small bit and made the holes bigger problem solved I have another set I put on the table hope this tip will be useful to you ! Keep up the great recipes and talks you do!

I love these kinds of get-together. We use to have huge fish fries with the fish my Dad had caught all year long. Miss those days.
Wish I was there..reminds me of my childhood days in Pa. Ty for keeping traditions alive..I miss this soooo much..!! 😢😢😢❤❤🙏🙏🙏
first time i have said anything but think for for all the help with cooking i am 73 am never miss your show god is with you
This video is right up my alley! Bring us more just like it. We love seeing the old ways. The mountain scenery in the background is gorgeous.
This video warmed my heart. I could feel the love between friends and family in it. Wish I could have joined yall
May the good Lord bless you and your family I enjoyed your southern hospitality

I can imagine how amazing that must have smelled! Clean mountain air and a cooking pig. Mmm ❤️

This is exactly the way I was taught to do it. We'd make a dipping sauce from Apple cider vinegar, paprika, cayenne pepper and melted butter. It was hot stuff but good.
Don Tripp The sand is a great idea we will definitely have a sand pile next time. I am also going to mix up some of that sauce. It sounds delicious.
Looks like a good time was had by all! More blessings to thank the Lord for!
Such great fun! Nothing beats family time like that! You are truly blessed! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful country... you guys have a good life! Hope that hog turned out well.
A lot of work but so much fun to do! We used to have pig roasts when I was a kid. Hoping to organize one this summer for a Tucker Reunion. God Bless your family and thanks for sharing your channel and your faith with us all. xxx
Excellent point about the toxic chemicals from the plywood. The video has a nice warm family feeling besides being instructional.. Thanks!
We live in Florida, but we did wild whole hogs in a pit for the 4th and Labor Day. My brother-in-law also boiled the hogs head in a steel drum for the filed hands, one of their favorite things. We did this for years.
I just found your channel, I'm addicted. I also am from the East Tn area. Please make more!!!
That is a memory that you your family will never forget... God bless you... And Yummm..yummm.. Thanks for sharing.

wonderful to watch a pig roast so up close, thank you!
Around here the nice way of explaining that is she is a little high strung. It is called other things that aren't so nice 😃
Thanks for watching!
after about6 to8 hours we did skin side down basting the cavity stoken the fire every hour till done. did that for about forty years. good times
She’s so darn cute
yep! that's how ya do it. but not in the heat of the summer. Va Beach, Va.

This looks like fun!!! Never been to something like this ☺️my brother in law and sister live in Kingsport Tennessee probably not to far from you all !
I'm a city gal, but that pig pickin looked like a fun gathering. And I would have loved to be able to smell the food cooking.
Hi hope all is well with you and yours! Trying to prepare for this hurricane. Praying and holding on is all I can do. Hope you all are well and will not be effected. Was in Asheville and cherokee for a few days and thought of you. Love the Mts. and hope to go back soon. Take care and blessings!
You chose a beautiful place to wait out the storm. Enjoy your unexpected vacation. We will pray your home is spared.
Actually was up there o n business the other week. Really enjoyed it and have been less stressed since. Riding this one out at home. Hotels are full and triple priced. Thanks for your prayers! Hug Charlotte for me so glad to hear from you. Gods blessings!
I had no idea it took so long to smoke a pig. I can only imagine how delicious it was. I am a new subscriber enjoying watching your older videos.

Hey ms. Becky it's been too long. Looking great. The best part is the crackling lol.
I love your voice sounds so peaceful and pleasant.

Looks like a good time was had by all!!!
That was a great video. I was so surprised and pleased with your testimony at the last. All hail the Power Of Jesus' Name!
I'm sure the neighbors were hungry after smelling that hog roasting all night
reminds me of a time asa kid in silas Alabama. my mom was born there. my aunt lived on the home place. I miss those good simple days
Hope all is well with you and your getting ready for the holidays! Best wishes!
Nice family you have.
Thank you 😊
enjoyed this
Hi
What did you preseason the pig with? We didn't see the finished product...
I was waiting to see you pull it apart when it was all done, isn't that the pickin'? Did your neighbors "stroll" by hoping for a morsel?
We had a few extras show up 😊 Our plan was to eat it right off the grill but since we were recording it didn't work out.
Sure miss your videos. Are you planning any new ones?
What a perfect, beautiful family. How fun! God bless from California.
Thank you ❤ God Bless You!
Wow! I had no idea how intriquite it is to roast a pig
Not an American but people from the southern states seem more laid back and relaxed imo.
Thanks for another amazing video
Topher Quick Thank you 😀
That looked fun!
Where the heck are y'all? Been several months. Hope all is well. ?? Miss your videos and down home American philosophy.
Hi Becky. Just wanted to say Hello and I miss your videos. Hope is all well!! Best wishes from California!!!
Me too Becky..missing you..hope all is well
Great memories with family
Beautiful day with family and friends!
