OFG, we are waiting on you????????? You said you would come to dinner. The corn breads in the oven, the black eyed peas are a cookin', sweet potatoes are in the mircowave. I did check with my Witch Doctor and he told me the whole meal only takes 2.25 years off your life.

Well, how was it?

 

[Steve_of_sandspoultry]

The first bite we both said "bacon" . We cooked it with just salt, black pepper to get the real taste. It would have taken to BBQ sauce pretty good I think. Over all it was good, was it worth the trouble to cage it and clean it out for 2 weeks, probably not.

I had a recipe for peccary once. I think it had you smoke the peccary while it was strapped to a board. The last line was "remove peccary, eat board."

You boiled it in the smoker? Just curious about the cooking technique. My Steve has a smoker he uses all the time. Never seen a possum around here though. We do have plenty of wood chucks. Maybe I need the Joy of Cooking?

 

[Steve_of_sandspoultry]

It wasn't boiled, you want to keep the liquid about 1/2 way down the meat so it doesn't dry out. I just flip the meat every time I add wood so it smokes on both sides. That way the smokey flavor goes thru the meat.
