Why soak the pig in a brine for 24 hours?
Carolina whole hog, its meat side down first…
Such a Beautiful event at the TX backyard Pig Picken! Remember…you can pick your pig, you can pick your nose, just don't pick your friend's nose! 😅
The Chinese does it the best. Just go visit Chinatown!
Buy local! Happy animals taste better.
18 hours was a bit much he must of had the fire very low
I just loved the way the pig farmer spoke about his animals. Good things happen to good people!
I just about drowned when you all started that meat pull! And, that's saying a lot when a guy can't smell a thing through a video! Great work.
He could’ve put something on the top of that grate thing before he put the pig on top of it!! Sheesh
11:10 I stopped eating red meat because of the way it is treated. I'd have no issue eating pork from this farm and I pay the premium…
This man probably gives money to his family and other extended family.
He must be rich by now and truly one of the best pit masters. I mean, he doesn't wear flashy outfits or a flashy cars.
Very inspiring! It looked like an awesome job of cooking.
That was actually very enlightening, as I've never seen a whole hog cooked over a pit. Aaron is pretty funny, in a corny way. Loved the video
This dude can only exist in a Universe that also contains PBS Food. He's the exact person I imagine when I think of Public Broadcasting and Culinary Tourism as a single human.
SLAYER chops love it 🤘
You cooked a whole pig just for pulled pork? What is wrong with you?
This farmer tried to be political correct. Diverse my behind!
21:55 Dog goes there. Dog does not stay there.
Bunch of SAVAGES!!!!! I love it!
why the ice cubes ?
Didn’t show the crackling. ☹️ I was looking forward to seeing that.
