The lower 5 acres of my property is called "Hog Hollow". Full of oak trees and too steep for cows. I wonder if pigs eat blackberry canes? On the other hand, since the property West of my place was logged off, the stream drys up in the summer.
Great thread! Haven't done a whole pig in decades.

Phil (pjj2ba) just did a pig roast this past month using the Cuban Box method (a commercial one is available called 'Caja China' aka 'Chinese Box', although I am guessing the Chinese part probably stems from the area of Cuba previously known as Oriente) and it was really nice. I especially loved the part where Phil, Clever and Mallet in hand, split the Pig Head in two halves. He and I tried the Brains. There was a wondrous look of horror on many faces . Damn, that's it. I'm going to build a fence and raise some pigs. See what you guys did!

Brew what you like. Do this, and you will find your inner brewer.
Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured.

HA HA! Get in line big boy... I had about nine guys from my brew club say the same thing that day!
Ehh... it's fun. I like trying to go overboard with things (hence my brewing addiction). My buddies make fun of me saying, "Most people wuld just grab some burgers, dogs and a 30 pack of Bud Light cans... but you have to bury a 150 lb pig and get six kegs... three of which are from Belgium"
What the hell... go big or go home... that's what I say.

I have a friend that cooks a pig like this every so often. The chimney with the tin foil idea is great. We had to take shifts adding charcoal to the pit so we wouldnt lose a lot of heat. Maybe this way we can just get drunk and not worry about it

That's another reason I do it this way... It's really... really easy (once you have the pit dug and all set up). It took my wife and I about 15 minutes to wrap the pig up and drop it in the pit. Done. No more work until it comes out.
I did that one year... staying up all night feeding the fire for a spit. Screw that. If you want to stay up all night with this method you can, but you don't have to.

Not to highjack the thread, but we are having our annual Pig Roast/ Beer Bash the end of August.
All guests bring a 6 pack of Micro/Craft/Home brew in addition to the 4 homebrews I will have on tap in the keezer. We also roast a whole hog and its a great time to try many different beers. We usually have 100 different beers available.
Here is a link to a cook a few years ago Hog Roast
If anyone is close by and interested in coming, send me a PM. All forum members welcome.
