bzarcherHmmm.
According to a guy on the Ring, "If you can do ribs, you can do a hog and be just fine."
His "recipie"?
4 bags of lump charcoal, wood chunks, rub, injection marinade, and time.
They rub and inject the pig and put it into a cooker not much bigger than mine.
Dump the first two bags of charcoal into a wheelbarrow, use a torch to light it. Hey, I've got a wheelbarrow and a torch!
When it ashes over, shovel it into the cooker and add a few chunks of wood. Keep it at 250-275 until the heat starts to drop (about 3 hours) and shovel in the other two bags of charcoal and some more chunks of wood. Cook until the hog's at around 190, pull it, rest, and serve. Probably looking at 6-7 hours of cooking, all told.
I'm kinda thinking. We'd have to find a whole hog and make sure it could actually fit inside of the cooker. Charcoal would be about $50. Pig's probably $100.
BUT.
If we did this.
And people came over.
And we had ourselves a thing.
It'd be pretty damn grand, wouldn't it?
To help with the costs, I'm thinking that if people could kick in $10-15, and since there'd probably be more food than we all can eat, people would also be able to take home a freezer bag of leftovers. (Pulled pork freezes very well, from what I have been told.)
What do people think?
