Smokin’ Swine

My father in-law gave me a smoker about a month and a half ago, and I love it. The first thing I smoked was a pork shoulder ( that Charlie my father in-law gave me, he is the shit! ). It worked out pretty well, it was 55 degrees outside and a bit hard to keep a steady temp and good smoke. It’s a labor of love. I was babying that smoker for 10 hours straight. I also threw some turkey legs and thighs on there for a snack in between. Here are some pictures of the day.

Seasoned and sat in the fridge for two days.

New Life

Welp, Oliver William Long was born on Sunday May 29th, 2011 at 8 o’clock. My lovely wife Erika went into early labor Friday night. That Saturday her contractions stopped, then Sunday morning they came back strong at 5 in the morning. It’s was truly an awesome experience and I am blown away that women can make us humans. Oliver is well and in good health, as well as his mommy. He’s a pretty rad little dude and I can’t wait to raise him to be a bad ass! I created this blog to document my life and all the cool shit that’s in it. It’s not 100% complete but it will get there! Five cheers for Ollie!
