A friend has asked if I could smoke a whole piglet +- 30 pounder. My cooking chamber is big enough to accommodate this size and bigger. Have read Meatheads "going whole hog" but need help with a few questions:-
I have a vertical gas smoker so the piglet would have to be hung.
If it can be hung what end at the top of chamber?
Cooking temp 250F?
Would using water tray be fitting?
Would I need to keep adding wood chunks until the end of the cook?
What IT temp and what part of the animal?
These are some of my concerns if there are any others that you can identify please let it be known. I’m probably not seasoned enough but still up to the challenge.
