Gonna cook a whole hog this weekend - any suggestions?

[wob]

Any hints, tips, or suggestions? I've attached some pics of my grill, which I believe is plenty big enough to hold a pig.

I'd like to smoke it for a few hours with wood, and then finish it off with propane.

dont use that s***ty mustard based south carolina sauce.. i always salted mine down with kosher salt skin and flesh wrapped it in plastic then iced it down overnight in the bath tub.. came out really great. we also cooked on propane but kept a small amount of wood smoldering the whole time the pig was on the grill.cook it flesh side down the flip it after 5 hours or so that way the skin gets all crispy after you flip it sauce it down we would knife the hams and dump sauce down the slits tastey what time is the party I will fly in and bring the shine

i would brine the whole pig in a big cooler.....and your favorite seasons plus a s***load of salt. I cant remember the salt to water ratio.

When you cook it make sure you dont over smoke it. Stuff it with apples, pears, pineapple, garlic, and a lot of fresh rosemary...

are you splitting it and doing halves or starting whole?

 

[lolo62]

did you kill the said hog?

 

[fsusteve]

his idea of hog hunting and yours are not gonna be the same.

 

[splitshot]

If your doing it whole and have a large group, you can stuff it with with cornish hens, and Liam's junk can stuff the hens.

 

[fsusteve]

we stuff whole hogs with citrus fruit and mojo, a cuban recipe, halvies I do a dry rub with lots of salt.
