    going whole hog

    i havent go the final number of people yet so i'm not 100% sure on exactly what size pig yet.  I'm figuring about 1.25 lb per person, so somewhere around 75 lb pig.  It takes less time than a pork butt because at least for me I pull my pulled pork at between 190-205 and cook it at 200 - 250...

    going whole hog

    should add its a big roaster with a lid, with a grate as the cook platform fueled by charcoal.  Someone told me to use the rub on the inside of the pig and baste the outside with pinapple juice and leave the skin on.  Last time i left the skin on and never flipped it or anything.  Any input?

    first pulled pork quesion

    ok thanks a lot thats what I thought. I think I'm going to allow about 15 hours for 2-8lb shoulders, just so I know it will be done in time. I can always keep it in the foil/towl wrap in the cooler longer and then use the stirno trays to keep it warm or warm it up a little in the oven or...

    first pulled pork quesion

    ok, I'm applying my rub now and going to put into the fridge. Its 1pm saturday. I have 15.5 lbs of shoulder bone in. I just came on to see how long cooking times are, and seems like 1.5 hours per lb is common time. So that multiplies out to 23.25 hours?? I've never heard of smoking that...
