I would back it down to 8 hours actually and make damn sure you stuff the body cavity with some moisture containing stuffing like apples or onions. Temps right around 200 should do nicely.

7pm Sunday night. 6th annual Bayou Boozers fantasy football draft extravagansa. I'm really glad to hear I can put it on at daylight Sunday as opposed to trying to put it on drunker that Cooter Brown late Saturday night. What with all the dove shooting, football and debotchery that's gonna take place Saturday.

Had no idea u could cook one sober!

Seriously tho.... U keep heat low enough, or the piggy far enough from the heat.... Will b fine.

Spread her out and tie her down on both sides.... Make sure u sear to make the cracklin while in "Cooter" state. She is gonna b fallin apart when u finish!

Im jelly wantin to cook one now

I agree either keep whole and stuff cavity or spread her out flat and keep away from the flames.

I also agree that it will taste better if cooked while slightly lubricated. Nare a match get lit nor an electric spark button get pushed with the purpose of cooking meat prior to a bottle being opened.

Thanks for the tips. I was thinking about brining in a a big ice chest for about 24 hours. Or you think I should just shoot it up?

if you have the capacity to brine I would do so.

1 cup regular salt or 1/2 cup Kosher salt, with 1/2 cup cup brown sugar, and 1 cup apple cider vinegar per gallon of water.

You can add other spices/herbs if you want.

Good ole boy from ArKansas kills hogs all year and uses this method. He also uses nothing but oak on his smoker, mops the pig often, and will go low heat...225 or so. He can pump out some damn good pig.

I put a fifty pound pig on my rotisserie, butterflied and cook it 6 hours and it's done, perfectly. When I get ready to pull it I take two ice cold beers, set the pig skin side towards the fire let it get hot and dump the beers over it. The skin will pop and crack. Good stuff.

I'd probably have white beans and tomatoes with it.

Eldorado. No telling how many pigs he catches each year. Runs a pack of dogs and has access to a bunch of land.

Sorry, but I haven't asked. By that time of day, he could mop it with urine and it'd taste good...damn good.
