I farmer friend of mine has been asking for a couple of days now if I wanted a piglet to Q. I keep puttin him off as I believe that is a bit over my head not to mention Im not sure if its possible.
That got me thinkin. He's talkin about a 60# piglet, dressed it would loose about a third of the weight. Not sure if I could smoke that thing on a char-griller SP?????? It would be dressed w/o head and skin.
Another thing to consider is he could dress it with skin scald and shaved. I told him for a better smoke we should skin it but now the question is how do we hold the thing together. I was thinking chix wire but I believe that stuff is galvanized and would need to be burned off. He foils his pigs before putting the chix wire on but Im more interested in meat to smoke contact.
I will also search whole hog on the forum and do some research. Just pondering I guess and thought I would submit a quick thread. Thanks for readin and good Q to all.
