Pig-Maul-ion

The grand finale to In-Law-A-Thon is our visit to Wife's oldest brother G1 and wife B. They live in lovely new house they bought recently after an efficient 17 year search in the country of Medina County Ohio (south Medina County). The purpose of this trip was to do a dry run of a whole pig roast which we are intending to duplicate for the In-Law family reunion next summer. So here in pictorial fashion is our event.

Production of the Tool

G1 and Miss Piggy

After going to the meat market and picking up our 94 pound date for Saturday morning we were left with the problem of keeping in cool over night. G1 the ever resourceful suggested a nice relaxing ice bath for Miss Piggy

Proper Operation of a Pig Mauler 1700

If your Pig Mauler 1700 is roasting correctly it should cook your pig at a low temperature for long period as seen below


Incorrect Operation of the Pig Mauler 1700

There is a great temptation to let the heat get to high when roasting your pig which can cause the fat in the pig to incinerate as below.

de-Intimdator was pleased to have a guest appearance from that maven of higher scientific style, Styling with Renee Michelle. Does that put us on the social map or what!

G1 and son Shaun the Geek (click, click, click...I don't know why you can't connect to the Internet Dad) show how easy it is to get Miss Piggy out without losing a morsel

I'm sorry I'll miss it, I'm sure it's gonna be a hit at the family reunion.

It truly was overwhelming piggy goodness. I was happy to make a guest appearance and to bring along such an able pork hacker, Mr. D the Razorback.

Pig roasts are da'bomb. I went to one associated with a wedding in central Illinois. Super awesome food.

Without the pictures, we would have no idea what it takes to prepare for the pig roast feast! Great finale to your In-Law-A-Thon!!

Wow, I have serious pig-mauler envy!

Totally different note, G&B's back yard looks awesome! I guess 17 years of searching really does pay off!
