Neighborhood party. 300# pig. The BBQ caterer told me it took 14 hours to cook. I didn't taste any smoke on it and I don't think he seasoned it either. Was tender and juicy though. Had to take a Pig Selfie just before we enjoyed his cheeks.
I like my butt rubbed and my pork pulled.

    Those are fun.  There's a joint in west SLC that "cues a whole hog every Friday, it doesn't last long!

    Looking at it I'm betting it was wrapped in foil from the start. Love doing whole hogs.

    Pig pickins are a blast. I really need to get back to cooking them more regular myself. Glad that Yall had a good time my friend.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    If the Social Chairman for the party hadn't hired this caterer, I was going to volunteer to Egg a bunch of Butts for it.  I would have enjoyed the challenge, but glad she just paid the $500 for it it was done.  Eating some of the leftovers for lunch today.

    500.00 would not even pay for the hog here. It's 2.39lbs here for a whole hog.

    he told me it was 300# uncooked and 260# finished.  I can't verify that he told me the truth, but yes that was a deal.  He dropped it off and picked up the carcass afterward for that price.
