Just put on an 80lb pig for a friend. He's having a suprise birthday party for his wife tonight.

Shouldn't he have an apple in his mouth? Looks awesome!Plymouth, MN

Couple of questions since I never spin one open like that; or spin one period.
What is the approximate temp at the bottom of the pig?
What is the approximate cook time for an 80 lb pig?
Did you stuff his belly with anything?--------------------------------------------------
Burning lump in Downingtown, PA or diesel in Cape May, NJ.
....just look for the smoke!

I've never stuffed one. Usually I do about 110-120lb pigs. They take about 9 hrs. This is the first small one I've done and it's cooking fast! Currently reducing the heat since the host wants guests to enjoy the social atmosphere of the pig cooking when guests arrive.

I think this is awesome. My wife, not her kind of surprise. she usually isn't crazy about seeing the face.

I was thinking the same thing. Watching as this progresses.dmourati said:Shouldn't he have an apple in his mouth? Looks awesome! -
Crispin' up now. Butt reads 138, shoulder 120.

Ya. It starts off rigid but as it cooks it develops a "flop". Pig spins at 2rpm.shtgunal3 said:Dude! That looks awesome!

6¼ hours. It's about 145. Keep cooking for another hour. Guests have arrived.

That whole thing just looks AMAZING -- way cool! Fun to watch even by long distance, and without the fragrance in the air that I bet was drawing in the whole neighborhood.
