I guess this should be OT since its not on an egg, but it wouldn't fit on my XL. Oh, no way it would have fit on an XXL either. Speaking of which, my dealer has the XXL for less than $3,700.00 including nest, plate setter, and handler.
This one is 258# dressed weight, was 300# live. It just barely fit on the Meadow Creek PR60T. Thermo is just so touching with lid closed. Smoking with apple wood.

Haha, wish I was getting paid. However all my expenses are covered, so I'm counting it as practice to maybe eventually someday if things work out I might get paid someday for this kind of thing.cazzy said:Good stuff man!!! I can't wait!!

Great cooking adventure-and looking at that rig this is not your first rodeo. How frequently did you have to add fuel to the pit to keep it at temperature? Gonna be a some great eats at the finish-line. Can't wait for the money pics. Enjoy the rest of the cook and the rewards.
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. -
Mmmmmmmm. Pig fat.
Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg. -
You're going to need a BIG coffee can for all that grease! :PDMW said:Morning check in. Rolling along just fine. Will need to empty the drip pan soon.Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ.... -
That's a lot of grease in that bucket for sure. Let me know when it's time as I will take a plate of cheek please.

This is my 3rd whole hog, but my previous 2 were both around 90#. I was pretty nervous doing a 250#er but things are rolling along just fine. I have 3 hours left and the shoulder temp is 189*.

Sorry, not that I'm a big lib animal rights guy or anything but I've never liked the site of a whole pig on a grill. Just give me a butt or a loin or a chop and some bacon and I'll leave the blue eyes to someone else.New Albany, Ohio
