Meat Pit and Machine Gun Tequila

[Scdalak]

With weather cooperating wife and spent day with cousins for the early Spring 2012 opening of the best “Hanging Meat Pit” going. Yesterday’s selection was seasoned Pork Chops and Pork Kabobs. A different dimension of grilling meat. Succulent , juicy , superb!! Washed it down with some Crazy tequila my cousin had in a gimmick machine gun and pistol bottle. Pretty funny Stuff. Cigar of the day was a stellar 2010 R & J Short Churchill. Was a great day all around. Enjoy..

that looked like a blast! Any idea of what the temp in the pit is? What do you use, wood or coal?

The walls of the pit are stacked with Ceramic Heat Bricks, not sure of temp, but I know it takes almost 2 full hours for the bricks to heat up. They start it with Wood and actually feed air into the pit with a hand held leaf blower via a 4" wide Conduit that is connected (off Camera) It will take a full 24+ Hours to cool down.

Its a pretty unique set up Lisa, and one of the main reasons I married my wife lol, jk. They hang everything from Steak, Groud Beef Kabobs, Ground Seasoned Beef on Dough, (Like medditeranian pizzas, they have special attachement for that) All sorts of Veggies etc. Its as much a social event as anything. Life is good on the day they fire this up.

That reminds me of when I went to Churrasco in Guam, by far the tastiest night I had on that trip.

I need to remember that this setup is possible when I get a house.
