It will be a gathering of a really large number of family, friends, neighbors and whoever else might want to join in the festivities. Some of them will invest their time and money in buying a whole hog and slowly roast it for a “big event” kind of barbecue. In parts of eastern North Carolina, they love to smoke their hogs. There are those who want to go whole-hog. No matter which method you choose to prepare the pork, it needs to cook slowly and at a low temperature. What better solution than to make pulled pork in your crockpot? Somehow, you have got to find a way to have a BBQ without firing up the BBQ grill and standing watch over the flames and food for several hours. Your house might need a good cleaning before 40 friends and family crowd in and make it dirty again.Īnd the shopping has to be done, and you want to plan for the entertainment, and all of the other things that have to be done and so on and so on. You have decided to have a large number of your friends and family over, just to celebrate the joys of a sunny summer day.Įven though you love to barbecue, your thoughts go towards all the side dishes there are to prepare.
