Well, can't use the old Charlotte's Web saying, "That's some pig." so guess it needs to  be tailored, "That's some log."  :)

I hereby award the Fred Flintstone ......cough ! No that ain't right, he'd use quarried stone. Well it deserves some type of an award.  smiley_headscratch

Have a good dinner at the pig roast anyway.  8)

That's very creative.  Impressive too.   If it was a hickory, I was gonna say the hickory smoke flavor was built right in the cooker. ;D

Yep. Reddish-brown heartwood, light sapwood, thick bark with deep fissures -- gotta be related to Douglas-Fir. Pseudotsuga forforum  ;D.

I've only been to one pig roast, and it was fun. A party for the landscape students and a few instructors at the college in the late 1980s (these don't happen anymore  :D )

Remember at one point one instructor looking, running and yelling "Don't Rake Those Coals Now !!!"

Pig caught fire for a moment, but they got it under control quick. Real tasty afterward.
