Wanted to put pig in roaster but would not fit, used a full sheet roasting pan from butcher as drip tray and as roasting pan for the cook.

Put pig in cooler to take to party trying not to traumatize kids (6 and 8 year olds) and turn them into vegetarians!

Great cook. What was total time on the egg?Sandy Springs & Dawsonville Ga

@saigodog - That is jumping right into the deep, deep end of the pool. Great looking outcome right there. Explaining the whole hog to the kids must have been a bit of a challenge.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. Life is too short for light/lite beer!

Oh man! Did the dome even close!? Tight fit there.

That looks incredible! How long did the cook take you?"The pig is an amazing animal. You feed a pig an apple and it makes bacon. Let's see Michael Phelps do that" - Jim Gaffigan

Awesome! Any pics of the final product being served up?

GooDawgs - It was only $125 for the pig. It barley fit, originally had it in a roaster but it was too tall, had to take it out to stretch the pig out a little and put the rack in a larger pan.

My kids are 6 and 8. I thought they would be traumatized and become instant vegetarians so my wife and I put the pig in the cooler to take to the party so they would not see it. But I must have raised her right because when we were breaking down the pig in the kitchen she walked up, looked right at the pig and went to go play! Didn't faze her one bit.lousubcap said:@saigodog - That is jumping right into the deep, deep end of the pool. Great looking outcome right there.

@The_Stache I still think a pit is the way to go. (Or we toss it on my stick burner and pull an all nighter)
I don’t know if I could eat a pig with its feet around its ears. Too many memories of chubby sorority girls from college.
