Whole Hog

[stout]

while i've done a small amount of smoking in the past the above pics are where the majority of my experience is(if you're wondering both those pigs after being gutted weighed about 60 to 65 pounds each)

whole hog cooked on a rotisserie, filipino style, great stuff .. but work intensive from prep too the actual cooking and a good 75% of the time the nights i have set up to cook all night it has decided to rain .. and usually rain's friend wind shows up too.. so it makes for a busy night keeping everything going and protected...

but that's kinda why i am ready to go the lazy Q route now for a while

not that i won't spin some pigs again .. they are too good not to

Stout, you should try a "Cuban Box" sold here as La Caja China. The hog sits in a box with the charcoal on a tray above it-relatively impervious to wind and rain. That anyway is how I do mine, and the cleanup is fairly easy.

I admire your effort, and results, Stout!  WAY too much work for me, though!   Been in a lot of whole hog roasts, in my younger days, and they were great.  But...I guess I've outgrown them, 'cause the all-nighters, tending a fire and drinking beer, just aren't as fun as they used to be! ???
