I have it cut into 7 different parts: 2 Hams, 2 Shoulders, 2 ribs, and tenderloin. I am going to smoke a piece on my BGE this weekend and need to pull it out tonight and start soaking it to purge the blood. What piece should I do first and how should I go about preparing it? I am going to brine it over night friday night.

smoking wild hog is not really a good idea usually. it normally doesn't have enough fat on it and dries out quickly.

rice and gravy, bruh. this is the best meat in the world when it comes to wild game.

Uh, you should have drained the blood when it was killed like a deer.

Can't imagine why he didn't. Also can't imagine what this did to the meat after going right into the freezer.

Is it good to go? He said it's pretty well butchered up into different cuts.

inject the ham or shoulder with creole garlic smoke about an hour uncovered then put in pan cover in creaole garlic, wrap and cook until bone comes out..can smoke traditional way due to lack of fat..but i have done this method many times and it turns out wonderfull

it was bled out, but you can't get it all out letting it hang for 20 minutes.

Did you consider more time of hanging?
