Have not made pig candy in awhile.  Made some 10:1 with Jalapeño powder.  I like a 6:1, but this was a test to see how hot 10:1 was for use as a possible finger food for a wedding in September!  This was a from a 10lb case of thin cut.  It cooked well, should have take a picture of the whole slices, but did not think about it.  Took it to a meeting, folks have never heard of Pig Candy, much less tasted it.  They liked very much too!

Bentley,
I am planning on making some in a couple weeks and was wondering what temp did you cook it at ?

I made pig candy recently, started at 160° for 1/2 hour then 225° for ~1/2 hour, turned over for another ~1/2 hour, then bumped temp. up to 300° until done. Turned out very good.

In the oven on a wire rack at 350° for 28 minutes.

Thanks Hugh and Bentley.

I thought I knew all things Traeger. My friend  Bill pulls this out and it had a Traeger plate on it.

 "Live & learn".  That's new to me as well...   Is there any history  related to it?

Said he bought it at the meat market in Fresno. I don't think it's that long ago so I don't think it's that old they sell triggers

Cooked these for a charity cook yesterday. 8 Butts, took about 14 hours total on the series 7. Rested them for about 2 hours and then we shredded them and made pulled pork egg rolls to serve at the charity event.

Very nice

Good looking butts. Hard to beat pork butts for price and ease of smoking.

That is one versatile unit!

I've been really impressed with the series 7 since I got it. My main cooker is still my Grid Iron, but I just wanted to keep pushing to the 7 to see what it can do. It's really only the 4th or 5th cook on it overall. So far it has been great.

I am a Cynic by nature, but I have to believe Alcohol was involved!  At least they got to watch the 10 seconds of Fireworks when they looked at the video!  This is one of the best screw ups I have seen in a long time!

Only in America

That is quite the grand finale! I laughed, but only because I may know those folks, or at least their kindred spirits!!

I imagine all those going off in the back if the SUV didn't improve the looks of the interior.
