Shaggy does a pig!

Matt, in the end it is very similar to pulled pork. I never inject anything, but felt getting some extra flavor/salt into miss piggy would help, and I'd say it did a lot. The big part about cooking a hog is the party/spectacle of it. There's a big wow factor. And the belly/cheek meat is way better than any pulled pork I've ever had.. :shock:

Don, that was an extra "hog" grate Kirk had Paul make him, but he hadn't ever used it, so petunia was the maiden voyage. I seasoned it Friday night for Petunia on Saturday morning!

Great looking whole hog! This is way I am looking at a 24x65!

A 24x65 will hold a big pig. I'm talking to Paul about my next cooker, and I'm thinking 65-70 will hold about any creature I want to roast.

Doing my first hog roast tomorrow morning. I think you just convinced me to stuff it with cabbage and go skin up. If mine looks that good I'll be a hero.

Anything you would change now looking back?

I really don't think so. It came out really great. The cabbages under the tenderloins help a lot, and make sure to sample the cabbage after its done. Oh man is it good... But then again again, what isn't good after being smoked and smothered in pig fat for 11 hours?

Good luck! Post pics!
