Hello all,

Will be doing a 120 lb whole hog on a block pit, indirect heat, burn barrel for my coals.
Sides: Beans, Slaw, Mac and Cheese, Potato salad, and Corn on the Cob.
I would like to supplement pre HOG with short rib slider and smoked turkey slider.
Will also have burgers and dogs this will be a 8 to 10 hour event with 80 adults and plenty of beer.

Thoughts and or suggestions will be greatly appreciated .

I'm not sure what suggestions you're looking for (quantity, meat choices..etc.) as it seems as though you've laid out your plan. I'm thinking this post would fit better in the Catering, Vending and Cooking for the Masses forum, but I'm not sure how to move it.

How many meals are you planning to feed the crowd during the 8-10 hours? If feeding one meal you will have plenty. What time does the event start and end?

I've heard that ~1lb of raw pig weight per person is a good number for calculation after inedible parts, moisture loss, etc are accounted for when doing a whole pig. If I planned to offer sliders prior to the main course, I'd probably reheat some previously cooked/vacuum sealed/frozen meat to keep it easy so I can focus on the big meat and still be able to enjoy some of the festivities.

Please post some pictures ! I have seen a couple of youtube videos of folks doing whole hogs and suckling pigs. Its a fascinating process. I have a big family and I'd love to try it sometime. I think I need an equipment change first, but, that's another story.
Pictures would certainly be appreciated.

My biggest cook thus far has had been for about 20 people , 4 times that is taking it to the next level. I always thinking to much is better than to little. I guess timing is key. So i think I'm going to do the smoked turkey slider and short rib slider as a lead into the pork and supplement to with HB and HD. and the sides.

I'm pretty much a newb on the site and I am allowed to post pictures. In one of those "how to do it" posts put up by the moderators they describe the process to post pics here on this forum. Its different than other forums I am a member of. Easier in many respects.


Under the "Community" selection up in the header of the webpage, there is a selection for Pictures and Albums. You go there to create an album. You can put pics there. When you create a thread or want to post a pic, you use the album as the source. works pretty well.


Lookin forward to pig pics
