Got a friend throwing a huge party and he wants to do a Half hog 110 lb. again this year. Last year he was able to purchase the hog and the use of the propane cooker to cook it. We were able to get the meat done and people liked it but I thought it was missing a few things. First he did not season it at all and had to throw the meat on before I got there.. Second, I really think it would be great to get some smoke flavor in the meat.
The questions I have are the following:
How would you season it. I have seen just salt used on the skin/fat. I have also seen using differet kinds of rub. My go to rub is Butt Glitter recipe I got from here. I just wondering if I would be wasting that trying rub a whole hog.
Second, any ideas on getting some smoke flavor. Could I start a charcoal pan with some wood chunks? and just place in the bottom of the smoker. Or is that more trouble than it is worth.
Any ideas would be helpful but we will have to use the propane cooker no matter what.
Thanks in advance for your help!
