Whole Hog
Hi guys, I'm just a typical backyard BBQer. I've smoked ribs, brisket,chicken and some other stuff. I've got a whole hog thats about 8 lbs. and was thinking about smoking it whole. Do I need to do anything different than usual? How long should it take at about 200 - 225 and would that be the best temp.? I'll have more questions for you pros later.
Thanks
Thanks

Is that supposed to be 80lbs? 8lbs sure is a small hog.

Nope, 8 lbs. I got a couple of bigger ones and quartered them up but was gonna smoke this one whole.

What if a guy treated it like a turkey and fried it in one of those turkey fryer machines? Might want to use lard instead of peanut oil. Just thinking outloud.
