Jlipp79 Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 I did my first whole hog cook. I used jealous devil charcoal with oak,hickory, and cherry wood chunks. I cooked at 250° for 6 hours. It came out perfect !! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuley Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 That looks awesome and like such a fun cook! The only time I am ever jealous of a 32 is when I see a whole hog cook. Odd question, but it looks like the butcher must have done something to the hog on the back so that it's legs bent way under itself. Is that standard, or did you tell the butcher how wide the grill was and that's how they butchered it? I'm wondering if there is a way to get it more folded in half?

Jlipp79 Posted April 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 Thank you everyone. It was a fun cook and a great learning experience. I’ll definitely do it again. @shuley to my knowledge the butcher didn’t do anything special to the hog. I just called and asked if they had one and they said they did. When I placed it on the grill it naturally sat in that position. I would imagine if you broke some ribs and maybe the spine you could fold it more @tyrus it was a 33# hog the pooch got an ear and a snout and he loved it !!

sfdrew28 Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Nice cook!@shuley. The butchers will usually break the hip bone back or cut a tendon (not sure which but my butcher mentioned it to me)there so the legs can come forward.
