JDW Posted June 2 Report Posted June 2 This one was nearly 2 weeks weaned so not exactly a "suckling" pig. First time I have attempted something like this but it was delicious and really tender. I used the whole fire basket in my 32" with lump mounded below the hams and shoulders. Cherry chunks for the smoke. Also used a large foil roaster for a water pan. Smoked at 240 for about 5 hours then upped it to 325 for the last hour to feed a hungry crowd. Next time I will use more smoke. 7
Cheesehead_Griller Posted June 2 Report Posted June 2 So cool! I haven't seen anyone else do this before. Good to know a 32" can fit a small pig. 1
C6Bill Posted June 3 Report Posted June 3 (edited) Oh yes, no problem for a 30 lb pig on a 32. I just cant close the lid when they have a head, it's like they are looking back at me lol Edited June 3 by C6Bill 3

JDW Posted June 4 Author Report Posted June 4 Thanks for the tip. I don't see much peach here in Michigan but I bet I can get some online - I will definitely try it! Have a great summer grilling season! 1
tony b Posted June 4 Report Posted June 4 Fruita Woods is my go-to for smoking woods. Good stuff. Lots of variety, too. 3
