I was looking for some inspiration and googled up some excellent bbq resources. I found a vibrant community of foodies, gourmands, gourmets and chefs at egullet.org
Egullet presented an excellent online class: Smoking Meat at Home. Check out the pictures; this guy REALLY (ab)used his WSM!
Looking around the egullet boards, I was frozen in my seat by the pictures in this thread. Wenatchee Pit Roasted Pig. Check it out!
I've sometimes thought about doing a whole pig. I checked out the La Cajachina Pig Roaster Box, but if I ever undertake this project, it's going to have to be in a pit. It's just so ~ primordial.
The Smoking course also led me to a passionate discussion thread about this book, Charcuterie. I checked out the book and was very impressed. It provides history, craft, science, methodology and recipes for heirloom style, traditional methods of curing, sausage making, and MAPLE BACON! If you've ever read one of the Cook's Illustrated cook books, you'll have some idea how this one is presented. It is deep!
The discussion, 84 pages and over 2400 posts, including pictures and recipes is here: Charcuterie discussion
I'm going out tomorrow to pick up the necessary components for bacon. I'll let everyone know.
