June 14 2014, 12:00pm - 5:00pm: Pig Roast 2014

The Pig

Put a request out for recommendations on Huntsville's subreddit
Kirk said he has farm connections if we want to utilize them in 2015

Winchester, TN

Pig comes skin off, but they can do a 110-120 lb pig (post processing) for around $225.
This plan involves Michele and Jeff taking a day off work to go up to Winchester and retrieve the pig.
- Unless I can convince them to let us pick the pig up after working hours
Pig itself is being purchased from one of Michele's Family's Neighbors.
The pig will be processed at Mac's Slaughter House - (931) 967-1288. Processing is $65. They will gut, skin, and leave the head on.

Rocket City Meats

Pig Order with Rocket City Meats Cancelled on 5/15/14. --Omegix (talk) 15:56, 15 May 2014 (CDT)
Requesting a pig between 100 and 110 pounds
$3.79 a pound / $417.00 @ 110lb
- He said there's a virus that is killing off the pigs overseas so a lot of what america is producing is getting shipped out. This has risen the cost of pig.

Stuff to Cook Pig

Wood Chips: (BrokenTrace?)
Charcoal:
Injection Kits: Jeff Purchased 3 x "Cajun Garlic" @ $4.99 / ea. Total Cost = 1.08 * 3 * 4.99 = $17.17

All Nighters

The Pit
- Alternative Pit: For $45/day you can rent a smoker: http://www.redstonemwr.com/recreation/pdf/orecprices.pdf
- Pit design: http://cowgirlscountry.blogspot.com/2007/03/cooking-whole-hog-on-cinder-block-pit_19.html
  - The bottom front and back cinder blocks should have the holes facing out so that air flow can get to the pig.
- For cinder block pit, if on the concrete driveway, we need to put something under the thick aluminum foil to create grease runoff. The grease pooling caused more flareups.
- New Rack Purchased for event

The Pool
- The pool can be filled with the air compressor
- Don't fill the pool past the second inflatable section or it will just spill over
- The pool takes several hours to drain without assistance.
- Someone bought some kind of blue misting thing to put next to it
All-Nighter Party
- Outside noise needs to die down between 8pm and 9pm as a courtesy to neighbors.

Day-After Tasks

Power was the pit location
- If the pit is on the driveway, the grease will soak into the concrete. The grease will turn rancid and make the neighborhood smell foul. Scott mitigated this with a power washer and dishsoap, scrubbing it in with a large broom and then power washing the area the pit was sitting on, or where any grease had pooled.
