    How many people will a whole hog feed

    I do neighborhood HOA pig every summer for about 80-90 adults, mostly couples so you're looking at a 50/50 split. Everybody brings side dishes which I think fits most neighborhood roasts. We get a 80-85 pounder dressed and we rarely have anything to freeze with our post-meal stack of foam take...

    Retired and Ready

    Thanks so much for the help. I've been smoking with a black friend of mine from Oklahoma since the 1970s but it's not been consistent and we used a home-welded clunker that was more than a challenge. I bought a Brinkman offset about 10 years ago and finally gave up on in here in Colorado...
