I have never roasted a pig before and I got a Cajun microwave to roast a 45 lbs pig for the LSU game this weekend. All tips are welcome.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I season mine and even inject it the night before.
I use 2 beds of coals, when one bed is done, I replace them...time to turn the pig as well.
No need to turn more.
watch the temp, keep it at about 225....don't burn your microwave.
if you do not have a thermometer try getting one 12" drill a small hole 1/8 th or so and let it reach as deep as possible. shorter therms will give you a lower temp than what you are actually cooking at.
email me tomorrow and I can give more instructions., I do not have them in this computer
I usually cook about a 40 lb pig

Name the pig, Pig Floyd, John Luc Pigard, etc. Stuff everywhere with garlic, inject with butter added to mix, rub in and out with Pigstand Basting Sauce, Tony's and additional injection liquid. cook between 225 and 250 degrees, approximately 23 min./pound. this is my general starting point, tweak as you like. I usually cook 70 to 90 lb. pigs. You can cook 2 pigs up to 70 #'s in a 4 foot box. 2 smaller pigs cook faster than 1 big one, and make a better show when you pull them out! My next pig will be #34, since 1984. good luck!

make sure you have something securing pig to flip it.

never received your email to send them to you

to be sure CC raul@actionadvertising.com
Put some on the store's site...
Adjust the temp a little if not cooking a lot of meat (lower)
