Pig Meat & Garlic

[Jim Lampe]

since the WSM was still set up from Friday's spare rib cook, thought i'd use it again on Saturday for these hunks of pig meat

seasoned with Penzey's Galena Street rub & on the cooker with cherry wood chunks

dome temp about 250ºF

after two hours, I added skinny sweet potatoes

another two hours later, everything was cooked, plated with garden fresh Green & Gold beans

a little Maull's Kansas City BBQ sauce for dippin'... good stuff!

in the middle of last week, liz & I harvested our first crop of Garlic,
with a very special Thank You to Brian and Cindy Dahl of Oregon.
here are a couple of photos of the different varieties hanging to dry in the wood shed.

Thanks again Brian & Cindy!!

Jim, great looking cook. How long did it take to grow that Garlic?

 

[Cliff Bartlett]

Wonderful job, Jim. Love the color on that pork. Beautiful plate shots. Wow, you won't be needing garlic for a while. Nicely done.

 

[Bob Correll]

Glad I don't have to pay your meat bill!
Wish I lived near so I could pig out on pig at the P1G!

 

[John Wheeler]

Jim do you always cook on the stock grates in your kettle. So many of your peers have the cast iron grates in their kettle, just wondering if that's by design or just the way it is?

 

[ChuckO]

Bag that, I see that's your wsm

 

[Greg B.]

[Jose Suro]

Pork looks Top Notch Jim! And that garlic harvest will keep you good for a while. Would love to sit down over a beer and have a taste

 

[Jim Lampe]

a late thank you everyone for your kind comments!

Jim, great looking cook. How long did it take to grow that Garlic?

planted in October, harvest in July ... 9 months?

Can you tell us more about what our common friends Brian & Cindy Dahl with your garlic?

Mildo, Brian and Cindy sent us a few heads of garlic from their harvest of last summer... and we used those heads to plant for this year's harvest

 

[James Lake]

Great looking pork and sides! I think you will be set for garlic this year.

Just think Jim, if you got some pigs and a couple of cows, you could go off the grid!
