    120lb butterflied hog

    On long smokes, such as brisket, or pork butt, I only go half the time with smoke. I know people who simply don't like smoke taste. So I don't want too much. I actually had a compliment from a guy who said he'd been to several hog roasts, and this was the First time that the smoke flavor was...

    Thanks jcollins, that was only after 7hrs, just before I flipped it. It didn't get much darker after that, because I didn't smoke it much longer after that. You only need so much smoke, after all. I only put some olive oil and kosher, or sea salt on it.

    120lb butterflied hog

    Yeah, I keep track of most things I do in competition. However, this is my first hog, and it's a catering gig. I know I should have practiced, but what the heck. No guts, no glory right? I am very confident on smoker, and skills, just want an idea. It sounds like you know what you're doing. I...

    I planned on splitting it, putting each half on different shelf. However, everything else I've read tells me it will take up to 14-15 hrs. How sure are you about the 9 hrs?

    Ok. Any idea on time at 225? So if I cut some meat off, then put skin on after for cracklins. I'll be putting water pans under for grease.
