Whole hog.

[mowin]

Smoking a 80# hog for neighbors 50th b-day. 

Injected last night with apple juice, red wine vinegar, onion and garlic powder and a little Cayenne pepper. 

 

On the pit at 7:30 this morning. 

 

Running 225-250 with cherry and a little hickory.

I love whole hog on a pit. I like the set up that you have there. I love the meat around the jaws of the pig. How long do you cook for?

Planning on a 8 hr cook. Give or take a hr... Rule of thumb is 1hr for every 10# when cooking around 225. 

 

I agree, the jowl meat is some of the best.

Pork shots...

Cut kielbasa into madelions about 3/8 to 1/4" thick.  Wrap with half slice bacon, secure with a toothpick. It helps to cook the bacon in the oven @ 350* for 15 min to tighten it up. 

 

Fill with brown sugar, and top with your favorite rub. Smoke @ 225* for 2 to 2.5 hrs.

[mowin]

Thanks everyone...  Had a great time. I've cooked several over a spit, but this was my first attempt at smoking one, and with a new pit to boot...

 

Grampy, not a beer connoisseur, but the Mikes lemonade and twisted tea sure did taste good...

Yes on both questions.  Don't cook the bacon too long, as it shrinks to much. You should be able to wrap two pieces of kielbasa with one slice of bacon.  I cook it on a rack in a aluminum pan in the oven at 350* for 10-12 min.
