    Home made drum

    Is it a 275 home heating oil drum? Sort of oval in shape? I've used one for whole hog cooking (see my profile pic) I also know there have been a couple very nice RF builds posted here too. Good luck, look forward to the pic's and progress

    1st Pork Butt w/ Q

    Looks great, beware of a potential stall in temp. I've had them go faster than expected only to stall out around 175... Patience is a virtue....

    New from PA - First QVIEW!

    That chart is a great illustration of the typical stall in temp, looks like around the 6-7 hr mark you actually lost a little temp. I find that can be so frustrating, Patience is a virtue especially in bbq. Welcome aboard, be careful, this forum is almost as addicting as BBQ...

    Whole hog questions

    I used Oak over charcoal with mine last summer, We didn't have time to stuff it so that cut down on the cook time by several hours. I'd say boykjo is right on that 6 hrs should work but always nice to have a buffer. I had a hungry crowd by the time I was carving it and almost took off some...

    Whole hog questions

    I am not sure what you mean by a 275 gallon barrel smoker, I've used a 275 gallon oil tank (see my pic) and had it spit roasted/ smoked and the 165 lb pig was done in about 10 hrs. Perhaps more info on the smoker would help.

    going whole hog

    I think more info is going to be needed, some questions i would have are as follows Similar to alelover the time seems way short for a whole hog. Obviously this depends on size but a group that big I would assume 85-100lbs? -So the question is how big? I would think it is a minimum 8-10 hrs...

    Meatzapalooza Chili, Dino Eggs, Japs and Ribs Q-View

    Question on the dino egg, do you smoke them as prepared (sausage and bacon) then cut them in half, take out the yolk and make them deviled egg style or just cut and eat? Either way they look awesome! Nice work

    First Whole Hog EVER!

    If this is the basic design that you are using I would just follow the picture on the upper left (top view) and put coals in the four corners of the pit. Also depending on what you use for a lid I would fashion some sort of hole for a thermometer to keep an eye on cooking temp. As long as it...

    First Whole Hog EVER!

    Pack it in a kiddie pool if you've got one, if not I lined a big cardboard box w/ some rigid foam insulation, a bit of plywood and 7mill plastic and it worked great. What ever you use I recommend that you wrap it plastic or some some blankets (that you never intend to use again)  for insulation...

    Might as well say hi

    Here's the set up I used to cook my first whole hog this summer. Its a modified 275 gallon oil tank, it may not look the best but it worked slick. I'd asked the famer for 125lb pig and ended up with a 165lb pig... Plenty of leftovers for sure, not that I was complaining.
