    Now that's bringing it right there.  Clearly not your first rodeo.  Have fun with the cook.

    Holy buckets this looks good!  Is that an XXL egg in the background of the hanging hog?

    Hey, Hurricane T,

    Hoping for your success.

    If anyone knows, is that long enough? I've only worked on 1 whole hog, and it took more like 10 hours, tho' I didn't have any way to measure the temp. Our neighbor used to do 1 a year, and if I recall right, it was at least 6 hours, maybe 8.

    Thanks for they reply’s. Wasn’t sure how the first pictures would go over with some. But yes my dad, brother and I do this every Christmas Eve and family comes over. Regarding time I meant to write 5-6 hours at 350. Goes closer to the 6 hour mark and bump up the temps a little towards the end to really crisp up the skin. There are some pics from cooks in the past, will def post pics tomorrow of after this pig is cooked.

    I will get better pictures of the grill later, but it burns either charcoal or wood. Has water pans installed over the fire and recently added a few gas burners to keep things warm when it’s done cooking.

    First class!
    The problem with a problem is that you don't know it's a problem until it's a problem, and that is a big problem.

     Pretty sure they said on barbecue pit masters TV show if you can cook whole hog you can cook anything
