Re: Javalena
Is Javalena a wild hog with a college degree? If so, do the ribs like you would pork ribs. The hind leg like a country ham, cure it and smoke it.

Re: Javalena
cure the meat first, if you dont you will not like it.
i use to do javalinas in a large tub. two jars of cherrys, two cans of sliced pinaples, one bottle of spiced rum(capt. morgan) & half a bottle of everclear. let it sit in the fridge for two days
& occasionaly flip the meat around to let it soak in all the flavor.
put it on the pit & enjoy.
the javalinas i would get from my ranch were small 10-15 pounders already skinned & gutted.
my brothers called it a drunken javalina.(i do the same to hog)
oh!!! by the way, a javalina is not realated to a hog.

Hopes these help
here is one from site allexperts
Javalena is just like pork. In your smoker, you can roast it. I do a whole pig every year for my company. First you want to scrape him, that is get all the hair off. You can cut the head off, quarter him whatever, but do not skin him at this point.
Get some jamaica jerk rub or any other dry rub and rub him inside and out.
Get your fire up to about 290F and then put the meat in, keep the temp constant until done. Use a meat thermometer and get the meat up to 165 or so. Depending on the size, it could take half a day. For a 130 lb pig it takes 8 hours or more.
Another alternative is skin the hams and shoulders, sear them over a grill. Then put them on foil, cover with BBQ sauce and lots of chopped onions. Then wrap them up good, then put in your smoker at around 250 until internal temp is 190 or more.
