A Cinderblock Pit Cook

I agreed to host a birthday party over the 4th of July weekend if everyone brought side dishes. lol

This is the pit I use for whole hogs too.


I did smoke 4 butts on the Memphis Pro earlier and a brisket on the drum.




filled the drip pans with beer, dry rub and leeks..



brushed my ribs with bacon drippings, then seasoned with dry rub. Added a pot of pintos.





the ribs, beans, pulled pork, brisket and sauce.



The pulled pork for sandwiches,
brisket and ribs...









The block pit is easy to use and maintained a temp of 225F through the whole cook.
I added coal about every 30 to 45 minutes.
There is a more detailed post on my blog..

It was a nice day, but after cooking I grabbed a cold beer and sat under the shade tree to relax!

Thanks for looking!

Wow, what a spread!

I've been wanting to try doing a whole hog. This inspires me!

Amazing Jeanie.

Wow jeanie!

Very cool Jeanie. Looks like people came through with the sides too!

What a lucky group of friends!

Jeanie,
What a spread! I know everyone had to enjoy the food. And, I am pretty sure the "cook" enjoyed her cold beer!
