    whote hog for 200 people

    Hey, you all.  I have been searching here and other places.   We plan to get a 120 lb hog. (we did a 100-110 lber a few years ago)   From what I read that should feed at 1/4 lb per person, maybe 160 people, right?    Just wanted some thoughts.   We plan to supplement with butts.  Thanks.

    How did you come up with your screen name?

    I am an 1989 Illinois grad and their final four Bball team that year was nicknamed the flying Illini since they were all about 6-6 tall and could fly to the basket. Glen Large Vertical Charcoal w/ guru 3 UDS (one by BBQ Bubba) Superfast thermopens KCBS CBJ
