Whole hog question

[bigboysmokehous]

Good morning folks. Question for you guys that do whole hogs.

I have an upcoming party here in Wisconsin which is getting cold quicker then usual. I ordered two 100 lb hogs that I planned to put in my reverse flow smoker but with wind, rain and cold weather for Thursday.

I have a ole hickory EL IB that I am debating about splitting the hog down the back bone and placing a side on each rack. Have you guys ever split a hog down the back down and cooked it? I wouldn't expect much difference but question it.

Thanks

You are correct, everything is about the same.
