I'm thinking about a 24"x 40" reverse flow smoker and got to thinking about whole hog (or suckling pig

) in one for Boy Scout outings and similar sized events.  How big a hog/pig can you smoke effectively in smaller smokers either "racing style" or split open?  Qview pictures would be appreciated!
 
sid, morning..... enter whole hog in the search bar at the top of the page...  that should get you started...  If you need more help, ask away....

I have a 100 gallon propane tank made into a reverse flow. I believe my dimensions are 27 by 42 on the cooking grate. I just did a half hog on mine. 108 lbs. I cit it in thirds. The ham went on the top 30 by 24 inch grate and the rest went on the bottom. Had just enough room for 3 butts for another party.
