Traditionally on the fall color cruise on Center Hill, we have a fish fry for our houseboat community. This year we have decided to smoke a whole hog. We are expecting 60-70 people. It has been lots of years since I had any part of a whole hog cooking. I would welcome any suggestions, pig size, temps, cooking times, warnings, etc.. We will be cooking on a portable rotisserie over charcoal and hickory. We need to be ready to eat about 6 on Saturday night. Thanks!!

Fry the fish,,, unless you have some experience along for the ride. Either way, it sounds like a hoot. Enjoy it..

Well, we priced a 100/120# dressed pig. $3.49 per pound. If this were a big gathering close to home we might still give it a shot, but for a one time thing, miles from the dock, I don't think so. Looks like a low country boil is in store for this year.

Probably wise TC. Try it close first. But, Ric had some pro sounding advice on the process. Sounded like experience talking to me.
