Another whole piggy

[dooch]

Started Saturday morning, 3:00 AM, RF Smoker grill heated to 250 degrees at 4:00, 60 lb. pig on.

She was stuffed with spiced rice, onions, garlic, hot peppers, and rubbed liberally with Tex-Mex seasoning.

Let her go 12 hours with apple juice and water in the pans.

Fall off the bone tender, juicy, and Deelicious.

No need to carve, cut the skin with poultry shears and it practically fell away from the meat, the meat pulled wonderfully, was fall off the bone.

Tenderloins came out in one piece, just lifted them out by hand, but were juicy, and tender.

Skin was chewy, and anyone wanting it crisp had to throw it on the gas grill to crisp it up.

How do I get a good crisp skin right off the smoker??

I did rub it with olive oil before cooking.

Just kept checking after 10 hours on the smoker, have't done enough piggies to know, but as with anything stuffed, it probably took a bit longer.
