The Pig

Put a request out for recommendations on Huntsville's subreddit

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

• 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
