Jacked UP BBQ · Jun 19, 2009

What are you cooking it in?
The Spicebox?

I've been wanting to do a whole hog in my large but I'm not sure how big of a hog
I can use and not sure about technique and timing as well.
Rub, inject, foiling diffent parts at different times ect.

I'll be watching this thread to learn more.

Edit: sorry forgot to provide input from our whole hog at the Qlossal.

I assume you want the entire hog pullable/choppable? If so, plan on about 1.25-1.5 hours per 10 lbs @ 250*. So at 50 lbs - 6.25 to 7.5 hours and let it rest for about an hour in a cooler (if you have a 100 qt or larger). Holding longer should be OK, if you want to plan on a 7.5 hour cook and an hour hold - then if it's done a bit early no problem.

At 275 your lookin at an hour per 10 lbs.
YMMV

We did one about that size earlier this summer and cooked in on an above ground pit we built from directions Cowgirls gave us. We had a pretty constant temperature of about 225 to 250. We smoked it for 6 hours and then slid it off onto a sheet tray and wrapped it up in foil and put it back on the fire for a couple of hours, as you can see it was fall of the bone done and the best "pulled pork" I have ever had. It actually was done much sooner than I thought...........sure was good. Can't wait to see some pron.......
