OT - Whole hog roast
Apologies in advance for the off topic post, but I had such a fun cook today, I wanted to share with my fellow eggheads (despite the fact that the egg wasn't involved in any part of the cooking process). My cousin had a backyard cook off and I gladly volunteered to do a whole hog. Honestly one of my best results - perfect moisture, flavour, and texture. The skin was potato chip crispy throughout. Definitely a feel good cook. Pics almost certainly will be out of order.

Simply awesome my friend. Egged or not, it looks outstanding. Allow me:

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. -

Yes sir. Did it on my La Caja China Model 2. It's not an everyday cook, but when you see everyone gather around the box for the unveiling, it's pretty fun to be in the middle of that excitement.Thatgrimguy said:Looks like a La Caja?

Thanks @badinfluence. It was a small one - 50lbs dressed. Live animal might have been around 60lbs or so.badinfluence said:Looks great! Nice color. How big of a hog was it?Ajax, ON Canada(XL BGE, MED BGE, La Caja China #2, and the wife's Napoleon gasser)
