    Windy Hill Farm is a CSA in your area.  Do not know much about them, but it looks like they go to farmers markets, so check them out and talk with them about what you need.

    First whole hog success! Thank you! SMF!

    I admit I did not take precess shots as I should, but I was busy cooking the pig...  I will take some shots of the cooker to post later in the week.

    I am getting my pig for my first whole hog from Lilly Den Farm. We have our meat CSA with them. It's for next weekend. He is going to butcher it on Thursday and I pick it up on Friday. That is pretty darn fresh. Good fresh NC pork from a family farm!

    Whole hog smoking- is injection a must?

    What kind of wood does everyone like and where can it be found

    Well, I have some hickory trees in my backyard.... Town and Country- formerly Ace, has a good selection of wood chips and chunks. As for me, I mostly use hickory, sometimes mesquite, but I find it over powering on some recipes. Apple is a good light smoke. I use it a lot with turkey.
