As someone who has cooked several whole hogs over the years, well done that looked fantastic. The only suggestion I have is to leave a hole in the side of the pit that you can shovel the coals into, it makes it a little easier to spread the coals around under the pig.
I agree, because every time they move the cover they are losing heat. I am surprised they did that after I am sure they have watched a lot of Americans do it on RUclips.
The ash...Shuffle the shovel to reduce ash. Appply the coals low and slow to reduce the spike and disruption of the fire. Drill holes in the shovel can help reduce even more ash as you shuffle from your coals to pit. Good job boyz!
I love how forgiving cooking this way seems to be: looks like you kept coals beneath the entire pig, you mention yourself that it came out darker than you had hoped, yet the meat results are on point, juicy, and tender! Nice video guys!
And one more question? When u built the cinder block foundation, did u leave a chunck out at the bottom like u would in a grill or a smoke to adjust for the air flow? What’s that called a damper?
Worlds pantry where was my invite 😂😂😂 Enjoyed this we did the same at Simon Dyers a few years ago. Like you say it’s got to be the best way of cooking whole Hog.
I really enjoyed this video, I live minutes away from Sam Jones BBQ as well as the Sky Light Inn and I am able to satisfy me BBQ addiction often from either of these two restaurants. Eastern North Carolina barbecue is like no other example of BBQ anywhere else. I have tried it in Texas, Memphis, Kansas City and everywhere in between. There is a real rivalry between eastern and western North Carolina bbq.
Make room for an opening when building a brick pit so you dont take the cove off to add coals. If you wanna do Carolina style, Add coals around the outside to start and only add coals to the hams and butts! Y'all burnt the hell out of it. Very simple, also, grind out the stone so the rebar fits flush...
Well done gentlemen. Commenting from my residence; approximately 5 miles from Sam Jones BBQ, 5.5 miles from B's BBQ, and 12 miles from Skylight Inn BBQ. Eastern North Carolina style BBQ rules. Well done!

Best part of cooking BBQ is the drinking, camaraderie, the drinking, the sense of accomplishment, the good eats, the drinking and the drinking.
You forgot the drinking
My dad suscribed to that …what
We got was burned meat and what he got was hammered
I’ll drink to that. 🙂
Nothing like it
Great video! fantastic to see fellow UK bbq nerds appreciating the craft.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Did the same thing for my church cookout a couple months ago. I love the self tapping screws and rebar idea. Hog looked delicious

@@gsbbq4870Taking the top off makes zero difference.

Looks like a lot of fun! Friends, Hog, Fire, Smoke and Beer, what else do you need?
Not a lot more, that’s for sure
Well a few girls would Help?
And one more question? When u built the cinder block foundation, did u leave a chunck out at the bottom like u would in a grill or a smoke to adjust for the air flow? What’s that called a damper?
Nice job. Amazing cook, looks like a great group of lads and a good night. Definitely on my bucket list to try this.
The wood splits I can’t seem to find on Big K website was this a one off arrangement with yourselves and the company?
Nice work. Did you let the internal temps come down before crisping the skin? Or crisp the skin then let the meat rest down?
North Carolina is really proud of you, blokes ! 👍 ❤ Eastern North Carolina style 😎
What a great experience, glad you could share it. How much wood was there left if any?
Awesome job!! I’ve been to Sam Jones place many times! It’s the best bbq in North Carolina!!
Good times right here
You guys nailed it!!!
I live one hour from Sam Jones BBQ. Can confirm its great. I love the crunch.
Great cook and it looks like you had the right level of camaraderie! As a NC fellow, I can’t abide the mustard sauce but I can forgive you.
We have a similar approach in Louisiana called “ Cochon deLait “ or suckling pig . Though we use 30lbs -200lbs pigs in doing so .
Nice job dude!
Nice to see you back!
Wow what a experience thanks for sharing
Cut V shaped channels in the bricks so they sit nice on top of the rebar👍
Great idea!
rare to see people do carolina style bbq right, great job
Great job looks delicious
Nice set up cooking whole hog. I would’ve love to see y’all use mop sauce or extra seasonings
Worlds pantry where was my invite 😂😂😂
Enjoyed this we did the same at Simon Dyers a few years ago. Like you say it’s got to be the best way of cooking whole Hog.

LOL you guys. are even playing country music
Was that ash coming off the hog when you flipped it at 9:25? This is the best video I’ve seen that uses a burn barrel. That hog looks delicious.
Thank you! No that’s a salt crust! It looks that way because the smoke turns the salt grey
Amazing cook and great teamwork we’ll done all. Jealous I didn’t get a taste.
Awesome stuff.
5:35 everyone here going to sit and pretend they didn't hear that ?
the "freak" nike sweater is INSANE
I really need to do this.
Awesome!
Great video! But am i the only one who though that pause was soo long lmao?

Really good whole hog video!!! Done the right way

Next time you guys should load those coals in from the bottom. Great job though 👊🏾💯

Fun times? No beers harmed in the process I assume.
This is class
UKQN... cool.
I like what you all did, but remember to wipe the back before flipping it,
love it - i'd be bang on that!
Shouldn’t u have pulled the skin off first then pulled the meat? Idk 🤷 I was just wondering.
A lot of fuel!! You thought about smoking a hog instead?
