finally gettin around to posting some pics from my whole hog smoke.it was awesome! started out by cutting the breast section open, then reaching inside to cut the ribs off the spine so the pig would lay flat. being sure to NOT poke through the skin so it will help hold some liquid during the smoke. i injected it with about 1 1/2 gallons of apple juice and coated it in rub before the smoke. enjoy the pics!

Wow, great job there. That is something I would like to do for a gathering of friends or family. Points to you on your first, and what looks like a very successful whole hog.

Fantastic Smoke, Looks delicious...

Side Note Humor:The pics remind me of the show, "Alien Autopsy", Guess you could call yours "Swine Autopsy"...

Awesome.

I'm planning to build a smoker this Jan/Feb. I need it to be able to do whole hogs and have looked at your smoker build several times.

Well done.
