26lb Suckling pig on BGE XL for Super Bowl

GoooDawgs

I have no idea how to cook a whole pig.   I assume the shoulder areas still come out like pulled pork, but what about everything else? 

Seems like a TON more work than putting 40 pounds of butts on!  Is the yield worth it?

Yield is smaller but the taste of the suckling pig makes up for it.  Being that small the meat is very tender, everything either pulls or gets chopped.

Looks amazing!  I did a 40 pounder on an XL over the summer.  It was a really fun cook.
