I was in charge of photographing the event. Can you believe that I showed up without my memory card (or my backup card)?! After a trip into town to purchase a new one, I had missed most of the preparatory events. Oh well, I guess. Here is the pig cooker in action!
Dig a hole >> fill it with charcoal >> light the charcoal and wait for it to turn white >> load the pig >> cover!

This is what the pig looked like when we uncovered it (10 hours after putting it into the hole). It was rubbed with seasoning, wrapped in aluminum foil, covered with water-soaked burlap, tied up tight, and placed inside of a metal cage that the boys created to keep it off of the coals.
This is Casey checking the temperature of the pig. We needed to hit 160°F. When he pulled the thermometer out reading 170°F, there was an uproar of cheering. After covering the pig for 10 hours we really didn't know what to expect when we pulled it out. 170°F signaled success!
It was a great day at the beach but exhausting for everyone. I hope you all enjoyed your 4th of July weekend as much as we did!
