Sucklig pig cook

Ian Mack · 01-30-2008, 11:35 AM

Prepped a 20lb suckling pig today, but will only do the cooking tomorrow, as I have run out of time...

Will she fit, and is the hanger bar in the lid strong enough???

Filled the cavity with apples, potatoes, onions, garlic and tossed in a herb bush or 2.

Now no mocking about my sewing ability and I will just add that I have never ever sewn any dresses or such!

Rubbed and about to go into the smoker, it will stay there tonight and we'll start cooking tomorrow. Any ideas on how long she'll take?

Really pleased that the piglet fits, but it was a close one.

See ya tomorrow for the cook!

Looks good man! Good luck with that. Post pics. My only concern is the head being so close to the coals.

Cheers

Are you going to flip the pig 1/2 way through or cook it head down the whole time?

How do you like the ProQ? I'm thinking about another smokeer for comps. Should I go with another WSM or the ProQ

There's a water pan between the head and the coals, so it should be ok... I hope :)

Is it cold enough to leave it in the smoker overnight and cook tomorrow? (I can't see pics from work.)

DaChief · 01-30-2008, 12:35 PM

Cool...make sure you keep us up on your progress. Not much spare room in there for sure.

It's about 4 deg C at the moment and it should drop to 0 overnight, so it should be fine.

Pity about the pics

Looks good so far. Can't wait until we see the finished pics.

That's not just your std ProQ Frontier he is using on this one, it is the bigger Excel.

Foil the head if its to close to the coals, keep em from burning. Im really wishing i could find one of those piglets here at home.. they look tasty and cool to show off.
