    Smoking a small pig?

    Are plan is to get at station at 530, light some charcoal and do the rub. Hopefully have the smoker up to about 300-325 by 6:15. The guys will be flexible on what time we eat. Normally we eat at 530 but they understand. There is only 5 of us stationed here. If it works out we plan to do...

    Smoking a small pig?

    Are station is fairly busy and the pit idea wont be an option while at work. If we cut the head and legs off and reduce it to about a 35lb would that lessen the cook time? Also are you adding already lit coals to the fire or can I just put cold charcoal on fire to keep it going? We were...

    Smoking a small pig?

    Thanks thus far. I am going to ask the butcher what size he can get. I think he said around 60lb would be the smallest. How much room around the pig should i allow for proper cooking? I figure a couple inches all the way around, would I be right? Maybe it wont fit in mine?

    Smoking a small pig?

    I cant do a pit because of location. We will be doing this at the firehouse and people driving by may not understand and I was hoping the smoker would take less work, ie it could stay cooking with out needing to be turned or flipped for an hour or so at a time. I saw your cinder block method...
