Title: Smoked A Hog
Post by: matts2 on May 26, 2011, 02:07:00 PM

I cooked for a buddies party over the weekend to celebrate him getting to move into his rebuilt house that burned up last year.  He wanted a hog and I was all for it.  We picked up this 100 pounder from the butcher.  I shot it up with a cocktail and then a good helping of rub on the inside.  Off to the smoker and pulled it out around 11 hours.  When I cut into the skin, juices shot out and I could grab a bone and pull it right out of the hog dry.  Can’t wait to do another one.

Lipstick on a pig.  I have used that saying for 20+ years, and there is never a more fitting time to use it.

He looks fantastic.

My rub consists of brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, red pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt & pepper.  I like to inject with your basic mix of Captain & Coke.  Little for me, little for the hog, lol.

Looks like a perfect pig.......I once turned a total nonhunting, almost PETA head around to our side by roasting a pig and inviteing her and her family to eat........there is magic in a perfectly prepared porky......  :thumbsup:

Nice looking pit too, seeing as the rack holding the pig comes all the way out.

What kind of wood did you smoke her with? I didnt see a pic of the business end of the firebox.
