New Year Piggy in my Lone Star Vertical Offset--of course pron

[ssv3]

Hey brothers and sisters,

Happy New Year!!!

It's fast coming to be a tradition that I end up doing a whole pig for New Year's Eve. This year I did it in my Lone Star Vertical offset and took it to my bro's house for a NYE party. You'd think the pig was a celebrity with all the pics people took and I heard chants like "Facebook, Instagram" and of course I thought BBQBrethren. It came out outstanding and without further ado here is the pron.

Freshly slaughtered 38lb-er

Very nice job on the pig!!!!

[SmittyJonz]

I haven't figured out why a whole hog takes less time than a shoulder or butt or picnic

[silverfinger]

That's awesome!! Remember seeing your little piggy brining in the wordless picture thread. Looks like you presented that pig just fine for news years eve. Looked real moist!!

Happy New Year!!

Suckling pig around 15-20lbs I don't see why not.

So you cooked that to pulling texture.
Do you eat the skin?
I need to try doing this

[sam3]

That must have been delicious! Nice job!

[nsbbqguy]

Awesome job. Love the crispy skin!

[tsimm15]

Great job! That's awesome you did that on a vertical. I have a LSG 24x60 trailer with vertical. May have to try that sometime.

[JABonk]

Looks great!

[drumdawg67]

Nice looking piggy.

It was 38lbs. That's teeny.

Its shoulder or butt or picnic would have taken even less time.

[TuscaloosaQ]

Brother you tore that out of frame... Awesome... Nothing else i could possibly say.......:clap2:

Yes sir. Smoked until I hit 185-ish in the hams and took it off. Wrapped in foil and let it rest 1/2 hour or so then pull/serve. We dont eat the skin.

Thanks! One of the reasons I went withe the 24×30 was to be able to do a whole pig. Its good for up to a 40 lb-er or even larger pig if I cut the head off.
