My wife's throwing me a birthday party at the end of this month and she decided leak the secret of a pig roast since she knows I want in on the planning. This will be a first and there will be lots of people watching... I have a large field behind the house and the digging is easy (sand) but the pit idea has been met with a lot of eye rolling. A rental charcoal cooker seems the easy way but will set me back about $100-150. I don't have blocks for a cinder block pit. I'm curious about the Cuban box method but it wouldn't get that wood flavor that I think I want. So here I am asking for advice. How much wood/charcoal for a 50 lb pig? What kind of wood? How much rub? What rub? What should I stuff it with? Use Cowgirl's recipe for injecting and stuffing the cavity? How long will this piggy take? What are some must have side dishes? Excited but a little nervous on this one. Thanks in advance.
