Greetings Richard and welcome aboard!
Sounds like you've got yourself a real smoker there. Be sure to let us know and see how your hog turns out. You should have a real feast. Good luck.

Howdy Richard,

I've done a couple hogs in a pit before. I had problems because I was venting some of the heat out and I shouldnt have.

As for smoking on a large smoker. I think there was some good advice already given. Hope everything turns out and have fun.

Welcome to the SMF Richard!! Sounds like you have some good info already that I can't think of anything to add except for maybe the temp., we kept ours at 225 all night and it turned out great. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
