Hello, Need some help smoking a 80lb butchered hog. Have never done this and need help asap. We are doing this for a sunday family gathering for my nephew, home from army. Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks.

The cinder block method is the easiest for a pig that size. (if you do not have a cooker.)

Takes 30 cinder blocks, a grate and some tin for a lid.

What octshake was trying to say is she has a whole hog's worth of meat=80lbs to smoke in GOSM by sunday @ 2pm.

Ooooo,
In that case I'd treat each piece individually, your favorite rub for the ribs, bacon on the loins, etc.. Smoke as much of the meat as you can get into the GOSM.
I'm not sure how much a GOSM will hold.
Sorry!

No doubt is this one courages! First time smoke with 80lbs of meat!

I tried to cover everything I could in chat but I know I overlooked something. Hopefully she will post what she learned and and what is planned so others can help.

I think she's seasoning the GOSM right now.

Gook luck I hope this works out for you, Please take some pics to show us!!!!!
