So my son was hunting In texas with my father in law for his 16th birthday present and killed a hog on his hunt. We cut the legs off and split the body down the spine. I’m smoking a leg right now and was curious about an IT temp. Do I treat it like a butt and go around 205 IT or will it dry up? When I searched it seemed like most people grind the meat and make sausage with it. I rubbed the meat down with mustard and put a heavy coating of heath riles honey chipotle rub.
This is after a couple hours.
Now it’s sitting in a foil pan and at 6 hours been hovering around 250 using hickory and oak.
