What a delightful family McGie and what a wonderful family man you are. There is NOTHING like a family cookout on a beautiful day. Cookouts Thanksgiving and Christmas are the best family times 🥰
That's how to really cook out, lots of meat at one time, congratulations on the new smoker. This is also an example how our family use to cook when we all got together. Brings back memories Micah thanks.
It turned out looking awesome ! I love your new smoker / cooker it will come in handy for a lot of really great meals . Thanks for sharing and have a blessed day !
I enjoyed the way you cooked the pig. It was good to see your neighbors and your family eating and having fun playing spike ball. Good times Micah! Thanks sir.
Man I could smell that pig cookin in south Georgia. Could you taste the fruits and vegetables in the meat? Thanks for sharing Micah and hope you have a blessed week my friend.
I didn’t think the meat took on the flavors of the fruits and vegetables….. but it probably did a little…… the moisture was the biggest reason I put them in…… and they really help with that!
Hey Michael this was other awesome video. You always seem to be having fun in everything you and your family and friends are doing. And you have such amazing family and friends to have fun with. My God watch over you and your family and friends and I will keep you and your family and friends in my thoughts and prayers. Until your next video be safe.
Nice I built one out of a propane tank works great. My dad built a boat and a fishing pier all out of propane tanks. If you ever want to cut one hit me up . We have cut many very scary the first time lol. But we got it down safe now 👍
Your videos are awesome, sir! Wondering if you could give a video on how to store pigs and how long the pigs last for in storage! Keep doing what you’re doing God bless!
In that case check out what I’ve put together for you and if you have other questions I’ll get right on it! th-cam.com/play/PLACs7aSJGlQI2_lCgW7BaaRMyu6Q8UUlK.html
Hey Mikey... You're making my mouth water looks so good!!! Try wrapping parchment paper first and then aluminum foil... Just saying... Y'all take care and God bless you and your family... 😉
Great video! You should hit Costco or Sam's up for some commercial grade aluminum foil. It's about 40 to $45 a roll but it's definitely worth it when it comes to smoking meat. I love my old stick burner smoker. These guys that have the pellet smokers. I call him a man's Easy-Bake oven. Always good to maintain the old ways so you're not dependent on technology.
Nice looking smoker after hurricane Ian pass threw there is a ton of oak everywhere great for cooking the pig turn out great thanks for sharing keep the cameras rolling from Florida
McGie, the shiny side of the aluminum foil reflects the heat to the way you place it. If you put the shiny side towards the meat, it will reflect the heat on the meat. If you put the shiny side of the aluminum foil on the outside of the meat, it will reflect the heat away from the meat 🍖
Meant to say I cracked up when you were aggervating Miss Grace .. she's 2nd to Frank for watching you trade witty remarks with . You have found her Aggervation Button ! .. You should have told her when you asked if she like carrots , and she said "Yes." , that Giant Rabbits LOVE carrots and that's why there is so many in this rabbit's stomach .. in fact , this giant cooked rabbit loved carrots So Much , he swallowed them WHOLE
Hello great video. I love watching yall videos. How long do you keep the pigs cooking for by the feel or by the pounds. Do you ever let people come hangout with yall. Love all the videos yall make. Keep them great videos coming.
I wonder if you caught some wild piglets and fattened them up if they would compare to the manga pigs. They’d probably be decent pasture pigs if you trap some that are young enough to bottle tame.
Mr. Micah, you're sure lucky to have the professional help and opinion of "Chef Caleb" at your side ! -- The Good Lord makes no mistakes ! -- Just look at those lads of yours ! --- Bless Y'all And Keep Well -- Please Pray For The USA
Yep keep it simple, here in NC bbq is almost a religion in my neck of th he woods. After one of my bbq events a guy told me, Son that so good it makes your toung slap your brains out good. 🤣👍👍But I have never tried cedar wood, I will have to do that.Thanks.
Micah , when I try to post this video to my Facebook page , there is No Image displayed .. just a bare link , and that's it .. Is TH-cam refusing to include an image for your videos you post elsewhere ??
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures .. I know .. I thinks they change stuff around just to confuse us ... I just tried the link again and still no image ... so , what I'm going to do is get a screen capture of an image in the video , and then copy and paste it to the post on my Facebook

OAK IS BITTER...THE VERY BEST WOOD OF ALL OF THEM AND HAS NO EQUAL IS SUGAR MAPLE..I HAVE TRIED THEM ALL PECAN, CHERRY, APPLE, HICKORY NOTHING AND I MEAN NOTHING BEATS SUGAR MAPLE.
It's amazing what a good welder can do with an old propane tank...best pit made in my opinion
They’re tough as can be and perfectly sized!
What a delightful family McGie and what a wonderful family man you are. There is NOTHING like a family cookout on a beautiful day. Cookouts Thanksgiving and Christmas are the best family times 🥰

A Cadillac of a grill lol. Sure made good work of that hog. Looked awesome!
I’m ready happy with it! Just simple, yet well built!
Cute taste testers. Yeah fort ain’t dirty 🤣😊

Your videos are awesome, sir! Wondering if you could give a video on how to store pigs and how long the pigs last for in storage! Keep doing what you’re doing
God bless!
Are you talking about salt curing and smoking for storage?
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures yessir!

You’re absolutely welcome!
Love it keep them coming
Will do!!
Looks like a great smoker! I need one about like it- after 20 years my Chargriller has almost cooked it’s last meal for me.
20 years is a good long life for a smoker/ grill!

What does it do?

Did you get terrible devastation personally?? My heart hurts for y’all!!!
We made it through all good better then somewhere places for now I am collecting wood 🪵 while it's around and on the ground it will take time to dry.
Absolutely! It’s a double blessing……. Clean up the mess, and get firewood!
Great video it looked wonderful the only thing missing was Frank.
He’s a morning dandy around here…… very difficult to get him to stay!😂
McGie, the shiny side of the aluminum foil reflects the heat to the way you place it. If you put the shiny side towards the meat, it will reflect the heat on the meat. If you put the shiny side of the aluminum foil on the outside of the meat, it will reflect the heat away from the meat 🍖
Very true!!
my oldest son is caleb . great kid
Awesome name!
Man that looks good
It was fantastic!
Great I have cooked with a lot of wood but never tried ceder
You’d love it!

😂😂😂😂😂 I’ll send this comment to her parents and they can handle this!😂😂😂
That looks good right there
It was really good!!
That's a well-designed cooker , Micah . Streamlined . Appears your craftsman used a propane tank as the basis of the build ?
Yes indeed! Nice thick metal!
Hello great video. I love watching yall videos. How long do you keep the pigs cooking for by the feel or by the pounds. Do you ever let people come hangout with yall. Love all the videos yall make. Keep them great videos coming.
We have company occasionally but not often 😂
I usually cook a pig till they give up!😂
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures lol
I wonder if you caught some wild piglets and fattened them up if they would compare to the manga pigs. They’d probably be decent pasture pigs if you trap some that are young enough to bottle tame.
It would be illegal here but they probably do it somewhere!

@@McGieHomesteadAdventures // Micah, I'm always forgetting you have a lovely daughter , too --- I ask she please forgives an old man's memory
I’m almost as bad😂😂😂
If cedar can be used to bbq, what about other evergreens such as pine, spruce, cypress, etc.?
I'm not sure why I always thought it wasn't safe.
The other pines are not unsafe, but the sap can make the meat bitter.
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures I see, thank you Mr McGie. Your family is sure happy with it that's for sure!
Never would’ve used eastern red cedar as a smoking wood? It’s not really a cedar but a juniper. They do use the berries to flavor alcohol (gin).
That’s interesting! Well you should try it sometime it is great!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures sure will thanks
how long did you have the pig in the smoker ? before you took it back out to put on the seasoning on?
A couple hours. It would be fine if it was just an hour or up to three hours. Just depends on how much smoke you want.
Yep keep it simple, here in NC bbq is almost a religion in my neck of th he woods. After one of my bbq events a guy told me, Son that so good it makes your toung slap your brains out good. 🤣👍👍But I have never tried cedar wood, I will have to do that.Thanks.
I’m a simple man for sure! I’m living proof that anyone can do it!!😂😂😂
Question , what make model and horsepower is your meat grinder ? I like the videos. Keep up the good work .
It’s a SamBaere brand and I think it’s 3/4 hp….. I don’t think they make them anymore but I’m not sure!
You should brine it in salt apple juice water and brown sugar for about 5 days
That would be great!!
How long did it cook?
Around 7 hours
I didn't know people smoked with cedar.
Goodness yes!
Nice cooker! Gizmos & gadgets get gunky. We think alike on needing a minimum of 4 rolls of foil before a cook. 😆
Absolutely! No fuss, no mess, & less risk!!😜😂😂😂
Cedar for real thought that was a no no when cooking
If it was toxic they wouldn’t grill salmon on cedar planks😂😂😂
😎👍
Micah , when I try to post this video to my Facebook page , there is No Image displayed .. just a bare link , and that's it .. Is TH-cam refusing to include an image for your videos you post elsewhere ??

Does wild hog fat taste good or does it have that waxy taste like deer ?
It’s great! No wax at all!
Bet that was yummy 😜🐝
Oh my goodness yes!!
Thanks Micah.
I wonder if the woods of Maryland have any Wild Pigs !?!
I think I read that they are in almost every state!
👍👏👏👏
