I agree up in Eastern NC and I am 57 years old. When I was little My Grand Father cooked while hogs by digging a hole and he had a Grate and a tin cover and the sauce was vinegar and crushed red pepper and salt and a little black pepper. Cooked it with wood and it was some of the best Barbecue I ever had. Now every one has fancy pig cookers and cook on gas but a few on charcoal and trust me the charcoal is better. Sometimes simple is better. Also the pigs were raised by him and they want white hog house pigs and I think that made a lot of difference. Not knocking what you are doing. Maybe he put some brown sugar but I don’t remember it. Maybe molasses. All I know is it was good and that is how everyone did it back them.
Dang! Was that happy, singing bird ( @ 5:30 mark) sitting on the cameraman's shoulder?? 😂 Great tutorial guys! My menfolk are putting a pig in the ground 1st time, - think they just know how - me? I'm watching you pros so I can tell em what they're doing wrong 😉 Thanks!

Thank You... Have a great cook!
Shia LaBeouf doing a whole hog cook!!! Awesome!
The hog was put to good use, it had the right to be killed and eaten and that was its only right.
Cooking any type of food in aluminium foil is not good for you
Why though
