    Suckling Pig

    Have any of you ever done a suckling pig? I am really thinking about this. Been spending a good deal of time with Jennifer McLagan's cookbooks. a small gripe, for someone who claims to be a whole animal cook, I see a lot of recipes that say "Discard". I made trotter's jelly a few days ago and also made jelly in the process of making cracklins. when I chilled the jelly the first time ( I do it twice for thorough cooking purposes, and so that I can remove the fats before I concentrate the jelly) and I had enough beautiful, snow whit lard to make two batches of hot water pastry. too much to toss.

    Anyway, back to suckling. would you guys BBQ or roast? they are supposed to be 12-15 pounds so, about twice or more of a butt. Then again, if I had a suckling, I might actually, just butcher it the way I would break down a chicken and cook the various parts for different meals.

    Meathead ultimately recommends breaking it down due to the varying temps needed for all the different muscle groups......but he does have a page devoted to it whole.

    Comprehensive Temperature Magnet With 80+ Important Temps

    Amazingribs.com temperature magnet
    Winner of the National BBQ Association’s product of the year award. This 8.5″ x 11″ magnet contains more that 80 benchmark temperatures for meats (both USDA recommended temps as well as the temps chefs recommend), fats and oils, sugars, sous vide, eggs, collagens, wood combustion, breads, and more. Although it is not certified as all-weather, we have tested it outdoors in Chicago weather and it has not delaminated in three years, but there is minor fading.

    Our Favorite Backyard Smoker

    The amazing Karubecue is the most innovative smoker in the world. The quality of meat from this machine is astonishing. At its crux is a patented firebox that burns logs above the cooking chamber and sucks heat and extremely clean blue smoke into the thermostat controlled oven. It is our favorite smoker, period.

    The Good-One Is A Superb Grill And A Superb Smoker All In One


    The Good-One Open Range is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. By placing the heat source behind and under the smokebox instead of off to the side, Open Range produces even temperature from left to right, something almost impossible to achieve with a standard barrel shaped offset.
