Miss piggy. And some pork shots...

[mowin]

Smoked my first hog, 80#, today. Picked it up yesterday and injected it. With apple juice, Worcestershire sauce, onion and garlic powder, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.

Wow looks great. What temp did you run your pit at ?

Looks great. Been 25 years since the last whole hog. Not enough people willing to travel to do one now that the kids are grown...JJ

Thanks...
Skin was crispy in a few places like the belly, but most of it was like trying to bite into concrete.

Next time, remove the skin. While your help is pulling the meat, crisp the skin on the grill...JJ

VERY NICE job on your first whole pig mowin.
Looks delicious. The pork shots look pretty darn good too.

And that's one nice smoker. Bet you're enjoying that.

POINTS FOR SURE.
