Knows what a fatty is.
I am currently in the market to buy a new cooker. One of the things I am looking for is the ability to go whole hog:laugh:. I dont need any suggestions on any cooker brands but want to know how big of a cooker I need.
The biggest Hog I would ever cook would be around 150-200lbs probably once a year. I would probably be looking more at 80-100lbs on a more regular basis. The one cooker I really want has a cooking grate of 56 x 23 inches and has the outside dimensions that work for me. I would like the hog to be in comfortably and served belly up (dressed I believe it would be called with legs out) and not jammed in.
Lastly how long is a typical 100lbs Hog and 200lbs Hog. Plus how wide once the are butterflied out(probably no hooves)?
Thanks alot for any advice given.
