[MI Smoke]

I have 24”x 60” Shirley. I have a charity pig roast they need 150 lb pig cooked .
If I do racer style is goi g to fit?

Yes. Will def fit racer style and may even fit butterfly on back. I did 60lb butterfly in a 19x40 no issues. I plan to do 90lb butterfly in 24x48 soon so I know a 150 racer will work in yours

Racer style - do you remove the trotters/hocks?

Completely up to you. I personally leave on for racer style just for presentation l. For butterfly i cut legs back to base of ham and shoulder to maximize space inside smoker. One thing I learned although butterfly may squeeze into a pit may not be worth it as you have to pay attention to free space for airflow or will cook uneven

Racer style allows to get larger hog in smaller cooker but you dont get all the bark on meat. You also arent able to mop or spritz meat
