PIG ON WHEELS—John F. Lewis of Clarks took a 280
gallon oil drum and split in it half, welded frames around
it, built racks to go in it, putfendefs, wheels, and a tow on it
and now it’s a huge vehicular oven that’s being used by
someone most every weekend. The oven is fueled by
charcoal or oak wood and last Sunday John used it himself
for a pig barbecue to honor the birthday of his mother, Mae,
and brother H. H. Lewis. Mother and brother were both
born on July 11th exactly 20 years apart. She is 72 and he is
52 and John started cooking the 78 pound pig Saturday
night at 10 p. m., staying up all night with it and holding
the temperature at a steady 200 degrees.
