FEC 100 and a 100 lb pig

Woodreaux BBQ · 05-18-2011, 03:54 PM

Brethren,
Can this be done and how?
Debating on using the FEC bc of its consistency. Not sure it will work. I have read others have done suckling pigs less than 30 lbs but not a pig this size.
thanks in advance

Candy Weaver of BBQr's Delight cooked one on her FEC. don't know how big but she angled it upside down from top left corner to bottom right corner useing some type of rod and wire supports.

You could cut it into manageable chunks.

I saw that Bobby Flay episode. It was amazing the skin was crispy. Look really good!

Sledneck · 05-18-2011, 10:29 PM

Yep you cant beat the skin, real juicy meat and how fast it cooks. For those that want smoke they make a smoke pistol for it. I have also filled it with pork butts and they came great too. Been making plans for some time to do a whole lamb in it. here is me and the world famous SmokeInDaEye cooking on it at one of my block parties

One chunk at a time.

Candy Sue used to have the pictures on her site. Here's a link to Candy's original thread about it (hope this is allowed)

FEC PIG:

http://forum.cookshack.com/eve/forum...983#8951002983

She used to have a recipe section on her site where she had photos. I just checked, no recipe section on her current site.

You could email/call her for real details and how she made the rack to hold the pig.

I've read that the one downside to a La Caja China is it's not efficient at all and that you'll blow through charcoal QUICK. Any truth to that?
