I have a friend in Central Texas that is a hog hunter. We were discussing various preparations for some of his smaller hogs and we started to wonder if you can fry a small hog like a turkey. There is a youTube video that shows one guy doing it but I am wondering if anyone has tried it. If so how was it? Should we inject and fry away or just smoke 'em. TIA. Recipes would be welcome from those with success.

Wouldn't be worth the cost of the oil unless you were doing lots of hogs, and I honestly think I'd rather it smoked. Those suckers are so fatty they don't have to be bathed in oil. They'll break down in their own fat.

I've had fried Boston Butt....... it was injected and rubbed down then fried at 8 minutes per pound I think, it was very good. But not better than a smoked pork roast.

You should try the outdoor board. They're always cooking up game.
