I grew up down South and they have the best pig roasts aka "pig pickin'". They use hickory wood to cook. When the pig is done, it gets pulled and chopped. Best part is the cider vinger and red pepper! So damn good!
Well here we go again another pig roast on Saterday. Will pick up the roster today from storage. Hope all goes well.

P.S. Come on July!

In NM the Hispanics call it a manthansa(sp) the ones I've gone to there is little mess as they are roasted in a hole in the ground and buried over night until done. I don't know the whole procedure. Just hot coals are in the pit. But the results are good. I think Hawaii does something like this too. Speaking of pork skins, in Mexican groceries these things can be huge. Two feet long. Here too is a chicharrone. It's pork fat in a burrito. Too weird for me. Chiech of Cheech & Chong got his name from an uncle that said when Chiech was born he was all wrinkled like a little chicharrone.
Nice job Litchmo. We just did one last month. My recipe is to rub down, inside and out, the pig with ground corriander. Stuff it with cored apples. (No seeds. skins are okay because you throw them away afterwards.) Then douse it down with soy sauce. Warp the pig in aluminum foil and then the chicken wire. Cook with apple wood. Bring the temp of the pig up 20 degs. an hour. Now that we are old we buy a couple of large loins. And cook them the same way. To me the loins are the best part and cooking them are a lot less lobor intensive. But you lose the effect of everyone checking out the piggy. I've cooked pigs on the a rotisserie and turning by hand. Turning by hand is easier since you only have to flip it every 15 minutes. In between beers.

All in all, It was a nice cookout but the prep and clean up was a bear!!! We will not have another for a long time. All that slime, fat and mess will make us thing twice next time. BTW, Your pig looks like it turn out just perfect!! thanks yes it was yes it is a bit of a chore but doing it a few times makes you a smarter cook and you know what you need when you need it. Knowing that makes for more enjoyable day and if you can talk some of your guests into gloving up whitewashing that fence is easier (whitewashing from Huck Fin) it is all worth it but I cant stay up till all hours any more so once a year party is OK with me.

That's how we roll... well the nice thing about this it is shared so storage is not bad, plus it is on a trailer so it moves.

A 60# pig which is small was ordered and the butcher supplier sent him a 50# pig all and all it was very good with leftovers, served with yellow rice garlic potatoes, veggie stuffing and salad sides. the roster was made years ago by my partner and I old kitchen line for the stainless, a old stoker motor and gear box, a shaft from a cooling tower, and a old snowmobile trailer and you have a roster. works great.
