It didn't take much to get me going. Hock is in the pot and I threw some bones on the BBQ to top up on stock.

Sounds like tomorrow is going to be a good day.
The wild boar sounds delicious. You might have to tease us all with some pictures.
What do you do with your ham hock version, chunky with tomatoes, potatoes, etc? Or more of a clear soup?
do it when you are readyThe only thing holding me back is a decision. All I know is I shy away from pellets. Space is the other issue. I am planning a patio for my smoker, pizza oven and BBQ. Still in the planning stages though, when I start getting excited.. Where are you gonna keep it?
flood the pork hocks with stock and then cut the meat off of the bone when tender i.e .use everything but the bone What you are doing right now looks fine
I like Cremini or Portabella mushrooms in butter, then onions or leek in the mushroom liquid with carrots and celery with fresh herbs. I grow basil, lemon thyme, purple sage and oregano and add tamari plus worchestershire and smoked paprika with garlic plus red cabbage or green cabbage. Use all of the liquid you get from the pork hocks to simmer everything including the vegetables and cabbage. I never start with water. I always start from unsalted meat stock i.e. beef or chicken until the whole dish is flooded on simmer e.g. after cutting pork hock meat off of its bones. You can leave the bones in to simmer and them pull them out at the end of simmering. e.g. 1-2 hours on simmer. You can simmer the pork hocks in stock until tender which gives you a dynamite stock.

Last night I celebrated my 74th birthday dinner with my wife, 2 of my grandchildren one at university and the other one at high school plus my son in law and daughter. My daughter the gourmet prepared classic baked escargot, Italian wild boar ragout and finished with some really good blueberry-cherry pie with vanilla ice cream. We tasted 3 New Zealand Central Otago Pinot Noirs from 2020...a Fenton Road Brannockburn, a Fenton Road Calvert and an Akarua Rua. I liked the Calvert the best. Everyone had a really good time. We watched the documentary "Hired Guns" about rentable killer tock musicians including guitarists and drummers. Here is the ragout recipe: Pappardelle al ragù di cinghiale recipe | La Cucina di Capuano

No longer a newbie, but still clueless.
Happy birthday!
Congrats!
This morning my son & I pressed our Sangiovese juice buckets + pomace wine, and went out for lunch at Bep, a Vietnamese restaurant. We had pho, while my wife had a chicken + rice vermicelli bowl. We all needed naps afterward.
thank you
thank you too
Just fried a pound of chicken livers and onions. Didn’t share with anybody. Should have. Talk about being full!

A couple sunbathers. Lots of leftovers either for chili, quesadillas, or other goodness.
A simple dinner of filet, baked potato, and salad.
Medium rare ...

pork scallopine with mushrooms, pearl couscous, and a hearty salad.
The other day I decided to have spaghetti squash instead of pasta noodles. I enjoy it, but it's not epic. Tonight was clean out the fridge night and I went for a chicken alfedo with the second half.
Deadly, but really. Its the cheese!
A cheese spill is never a sad moment! Highly recommended.
