I always cook pork to around 165. Anything over 160 is considered safe. Your last year's hog looks good. If you were happy with how it turned out, then go with it. You might turn it at some point if it's not cooking evenly. Other than that, "Babe" doesn't appear to be very fat, so I'd be wary of overcooking.

The pig will have different internal temps in different spots. I've found that it breaks down the best for pulled pork around 175-180 in the hams and the shoulders probably in the 190 range. 165 in the hams will probably be just fine. I've just found I like it a little more for pulled pork when it gets up a little higher.
Oh and...Nice pit, balls.
