Whole hog size question?

OK, all you whole hog experts, how LONG is a 100-120 pound dressed (head on) whole hog, tail to snout (or "rooter to tooter"). I'm planning ofn a racer style or at least pointing the back legs to the front. The door on my RF is 51" wide. I've cooked a bunch of 65-80 pound hogs and feel I can fit a larger one, but just wanted to check with y'all.

How long was that 65-80lb hog? My grates on my smoker are 33 wide and 36 deep. Would one of those fit on my grate

These are shots of a custom rack I built for my RF smoker, it is 34-1/2 long. I made it specifically to fit in a 128 quart Igloo boat cooler so I could take the hog to a luncheon, but I've got another 16-17 inches to work with and I'm hoping to get a 100#-120" hog in there.





Here is a link to the entire cook.

Willy, I'm thinking you can probably cook at least 2 +80# hogs with the head on in your monster:mrgreen:

Skywalker, I'm thinking you could easily go for a 100#'r with the head on.
