Our church, Unity Moravian in Lewisville, had it’s annual fall BBQ today and I volunteered to help chop the pigs. Specifically we chopped over 60 pork shoulders which came to about 900 pounds of pig.

A bunch of guys had to bug out early, but luckily I’d recruited Michael, our 16 year old and his buddy Daniel to help. They had great fun wielding the cleavers

The BBQ officially opened at 4:00 and we didn’t finish chopping until 3:30 so without the boys I don’t know if we’d have been done chopping in time.

There were also a bunch of chickens being cooked and several guys were manning that operation. The guys I don’t envy were the experts who stayed up all night with the pigs. They also stuck around to make sure our part of the op went successfully.

Usually there’s plenty of food left to buy after the event is over so if you’re in the mood for good BBQ just give me a shout and I’ll hook you up.
