I have a pig to cook
« on: August 19, 2020, 05:58:48 PM »
A neighbor / friend has a 300 pound pig.   Discussion started about me cooking the whole pig in the ground and it being fun to try.


This is honestly never something I have read about past “ hum.... that looks good”.


Open to suggestion and options

We always used a rotisserie built out of an old fuel barrel. Never did one in the ground before.

Put a turkey in the belly. It will be the best turkey you ever had.

Ive not done it either but I have watched many many shoes on it.

How depends on your set up.  Seen a lot done with a stacked cinder block approach with expanded metal over the top and pieces of roof tin to cover.

Same concept in the ground.

Either way, I’d start a feeder fire and shovel coals under it to keep the temp in the
Low and slow.  250-280.

Skin side down.  Use a saws all to cut the ribs at the spine to get it splayed out flat.  Take some ground pork and pack over the tenderloin to keep it cooler and slow the cooking.

Rub the inside heavily with the dry rub of your choice.

Expect it to take 12-18 hours

Let us know how it goes...

Kids today don't know how easy they have it. When I was young, I had to walk 9 feet through shag carpet to change the TV channel.
