I am pretty new to smoking.   I have a Dyna Glow 1235 BDP-D Wide body smoker propane gas smoker.    The last roast i smoked in it.  I soaked hickory wood chips in garlic and onions over night.  Than just rubbed the roast its self down with Slap yo mamma cajun seasoning and let it smoke for 10 hours.  The end result  was pretty good.  

I guess i am just asking does anyone know a good recipe for Wild boar roast.  I liked the Cajun rub   I was thinking of Brining it this time.   any suggestions would be appreciated

Those hickory chips marinated in garlic and onions... Were they any good, or still tough with plenty of splinters?

Treat that (young) wild boar just like any other pork roast.
Brine it, spice it and smoke it... Compliment it's flavor.
Just a good dose of salt and grill it with a good sear, yummy!

Some people try to take the gamey taste out of it. I ask, "Why are you bothering with wild game then?"
I want my game to have a distinct flavor, not overbearingly rank, but wild none the less.
Same as I want my fish to be fishy, not bland and tasting only of whatever I cooked/spiced them with.

Now as to that overbearingly rank taste that a horny mature or older boar can acquire, that is rank not wild.
And that is fit only for the buzzards and coyotes, no soaking, brining or marinating gets that funky spunkiness out of the meat.
