Smoked a ham of a 60lb (ish) sow I shot in November. I've always just took out the backstraps to grill and made sausage with the rest. Let's just say I'll be keeping more hams for the smoker. Smoked pork with firecracker slaw, bbq sauce, and jalapenos was a hit with the fam!

I like the single potato wedge, it's like hey I am on a diet but I want a potato dammit!

Looks great!

Oh heck yes, looks delicious

I have done the same thing a couple of times, good stuff.

That is exactly what happened. I've lost 33lbs since the start of the year. This was my cheat meal for the week but I try not to go overboard on the starch. Was saving myself for the sliders.

Saving yourself for the sliders made me chuckle a little carbs are like a sexual experience lol

Lesson learned. Would.

Looks tasty

Stay strong.

A beautiful thing ! As much as I complain about hogs, I sure like to eat a good wild porker! Well done

Good looking plate of food there ! Soon you will be splitting those little ones in half, nothing like a good pig pickin !

That's what I'm talking about!

👍👍

Fully agree!

Oh those little 40-100 pound sows are some fine eating! Don't leave the ribs behind either is she in good condition!

FIFY

Keep the shoulders for carnitas too!

That's right.

Smoking a whole sow is definitely next on the list. I need to get me one of those torches for my propane bottle so I can burn the hair off and leave the skin on.

I have thought about doing that, but haven't yet. I go ahead and skin them out, then break the spine just above the hip, and tuck the hams into the chest cavity. This gives me a nice compact hunk of meat to smoke. Marinade in allegro hot and spicy and ginger ale. Season with salt and pepper and smoke. Wrap in foil halfway through the smoke to keep the meat from drying out. Damn. I need to go kill another small pig. I'm making myself hungry.

This is good stuff. I've never heard of cooking a pig this way rolled up, but it makes sense and I like it.

Leaving the skin on is a game changer, but you have to be willing to do the work lol.

I love shoats/crock pot pigs. They make some awfully good tacos.

I came up with this method a long time ago to be able to fit a whole pig on my small smoker. It worked so well that even though I can fit two whole pigs all stretched out on my new smoker, I still use the same method. Use Butcher string to keep it together.

Pretty awesome idea Sir.

Thanks for the tip! I'll give it a try

I'd be on that like a duck on a junebug.
