A friend of mine is raising some pigs and the runts time was limited...

New years eve 6:00am we arrived at his house and started the fire.  The piglet weighed about 70#.  so we oiled the skin and threw it in one side of the beast and started drinking coffee.

My friend Zack on the left my son TJ in the middle (what a trooper) and me on the right side. By the time TJ was done pulling meat off the bones there

wasn't  much meat to cook down into stock, but Zacks wife will take care of that!

This one was smoked on alder for 13 hrs. The legs could have used more time but it was good over all.  We heard no complaints from the 20 or so people that came by to ring in the new year.

Thanks for stopping by.
 
Looks like it was a fun day. Looking mighty tasty too .

Great looking hog! The color is awesome! 

That's something I will have to try in the future!

You have a fine looking Son too! Congrats!
 
Nice job Mo!!!! I did one about 1/3 that size on my UDS. Yours looks like it came out just fine!!

Question for ya... I noticed the ribs were sorta folded under.... Did that help them NOT come out crispy?? Mine was flat out and the ribs were like Rib Chips......

No, they were crispy.  When it was butchered it was too hard to get all the hair off so we didn't plan on eating it anyway.  It was VERY crispy but when we started removing the the meat the skin pulled right off and we just scooped the meat out.  It was stripped clean when we were done, NOTHING left on the bone.  Thanks for the kudos.
