I just got a 200 lb pig currently at the slaughter house. I am having it scalded scraped and the head left on. I have never cooked a whole hog. I am thinking of stuffing it with something, not sure what yet. Also on the outside should I leave the skin expsed or wrap the whole pig in cheesecloth? I built a pit from cinder blocks with a steel plate to cover it.
I used a piece of hog paneling for the grate. The rows of block in the center are to keep the heat from directly hitting the ribs.
I went four blocks high with the grate being two blocks high
I used Oak to do a pre burn and season the pit.
