Lewis Reunion - Grillin over the open pit

Every year for the Lewis Reunion we have some sort of meat prepared for the meal...For years we pretty much just had fried catfish, but in the past few cycles between the families we have added bar b que from The Edmons who own Twix n Tween bar b que restaurant in Centerville and Dad prepares ribs and chicken over the pit.  

I must admit the ribs and chicken are my favorite.  Here are a few pictures of what we did to prepare the meat and then cook it... We did not exactly cook it...Andy Lacey, who works for dad was in charge!  He did a great job!

First the cleaning of the meat:

 

 

As we needed fresh water to clean with we poured the old water into the front end loader of the tractor.

After the meat was all cleaned it was seasoned with Cavenders...

After the charcoal was ready the meat went on...

Covered...

Turned once...

Then thoroughly enjoyed!
