Whole Hog w/pics
Started prepping the hog (a 90 pounder) at 5:00am and got it onto the cooker by 6:00am. The new rack worked out great. Cooked at 275 degrees, and by 4:30pm, I had 200 degrees in the shoulder and 195 in the ham. It pulled like a dream. I added some rub, sauce and a dash of apple juice and put it in covered pans back in the cooker to keep it warm until dinner time at 6:00pm. Served it along with with pulled chicken, cornbread, pit beans, potato salad and corn on the cob. Got rave reviews! Oh! and I met Yogi Bear!
Enjoy the pics.

I could never do a whole hog. For one, don't have the skill or patience. Main reason, though, is I'd spend the whole time wishing he wouldn't look at me...
Looked like some good eats and a happy crowd at the end, though!!

Nicely done and looks great. How many pounds did you get from the hog after cooked?

Thanks! I have a couple questions for you. That is a 68LB loss from start, I know the head, bones and feet are waste.
Is that a normal yield for a whole hog? What is the benefit to doing a whole hog compared to just a shoulder or picnic? Is it the wow factor or is it the mixing of the meat for a better tasting product? If it is the mix, could you get the same results by mixing a shoulder and a picnic together? BTW, that is a good looking rig you have too!!
