CROSSCZEK
Full Fledged Farker
Last week was pretty busy for me. My wife announced she was pregnant with our second, and I booked two pig roasts for the summer. It's going to be a busy summer. Problem is that I've never cooked a pig before. I have a very large reverse flow offset. I've looked through past threads, but there were too many to go through them all. Most of my questions have been answered, but not all.
Q1) One party will be expecting 100 people, the other 150. What size hogs do I need?
Q2) How big will they be butterflied? Or, do I do them "racer" (laying down w/apple in mouth?) style. My cook chamber is about 20" tall by 36" wide, by 4' long.
Verify please: Cook @ 250* till hams are 190*, let stand 1 hr - estimated cook time 12 hrs?
All advice welcome and appreciated.
Thanks-
