Suckling Pig

We had a pig roast in September and roasted a 35 pounder over open fire. It was good but filipino friends said skin was skorched. I told my beach buddies, sitting on the beach of course, that I would cook the pig for new years eve and skin would have a bark that would be loved.
Now, have I overstated my capabilities?????? I have slow cooked 26 lbs of pork but and it was great. Could I curl a 35 pound pig around on egg.

And contact @charlesmaneri-he recently did a suckling pig on his LBGE-thoroughly documented his adventure.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

Knb 1st question is what size Egg do you have ? now as far as 35 pounds go it is not the weight to be concerened about it is the overall length of the pig that you need to be concerened about when I did my suckling pig I told the farmer that I didn't care what the pig weighed as long as the overall length was no longer then 18 inches because the inside diameter of my LBGE is 18 inches .I think that if you were to get a longer pig and you were creative with a knife and removed the spine you could get a larger pig in a LBGE I hope this helps you
