Whole Hog

I've been threatening to build a cinder block pit for quite a while now, I've even got a good source for a freshly killed and dressed feral pig! We're due for a family reunion, especially since the matriarch of the family will be 90 years young next year and we need to get all of her kids and Grandkids around her at least one more time before she's gone.
I think I know what I'll plan on now for the big feast!:wink:
Good article Bludawg! Interesting info about starting the cook at 450 degrees!:shock: I'll bet that really crisps that skin up and seals the juices in!:-D

Didn't realize that Ed Mitchell uses only charcoal with no smouldering wood--that's really interesting.

The article just says that Rodney Scott's pork skin is chopped and served with the meat; the skin looks uncannily like it's been chopped and deep fried first.

Great article. Thanks for sharing Bludawg!

Doing my 1st whole pig in my SF this Saturday, all info is appreciated! (may need to create a thread to ask questions) Thanks, Dawg!
