Now rubs... that is a different story.

When I first caught the BBQ bug, I spent a LOT of time and effort trying to come up with THE sauce. After all of that, I would be embarrased to tell you how simple the recipe is (not to mention that I would be breaking a time honored sacred blood oath ). Like a lot of things I am discovering as I get older, simpler can be better!

not as pretty as JJ's...but this one was not for presentation. The client was afraid it would scare the women and children(...huh, why a whole hog then and not butts and ribs?). I also made the mistake of letting the client provide the pig. When I got it, it had only been dead a matter of hours (still warm) and the old guys that were supposed to scald and scape it decided after a couple of hours that it was too much work. ARGH! But it turned out really good, surprisingly enough. THey also "compensated" me real nicely for all of the headaches they created
