We like our meat done on a smoker pit, Texas style, fire box to the side. The meat is never directly over the fire. I keep the temp about 250F. I season the meat like a brisket, with some sort of rub, and put it in a foil roast pan. That keeps it from losing it's juices. I will smoke it for hours. if it looks to be drying to much, I will cover it with foil. You just have to kinda watch it and your fire and smoke. I like it very very well done.

When done, you eat it outside with potato salad and beans and onions and pickles and cold beer and throw the bones over your shoulder like a barbarian.
I cooked one about that size several years ago. Popped him with a .22, skinned him and run him thu my bandsaw and halved him like a chicken. I put him on ice in a cooler over night

Slow cooked him over pecan smoke in a pit with a fire box all day long and it was out of this world!!!!!!!!!!!

Woah this thread is almost 3 years old!


OP... how many "babies" do you guys butcher each year? Is it routine or just every once in awhile?

How did this thread get dug up? It was great to read!

I actually thought that the fuzzy legs were hands too, and I thought "what are they doing? Dangling by their knees from a branch while gripping those hind legs?" and then I read the rest of the posts...
