Well the Hog is in many tummys around here, was excellent. Started out with a 164# pig on the hoof. Imagine dressed out and without the head was 100 to 110#. Injected the pig 26 hours before smoking. I cooked this pig at 235 degrees and was hitting 160 internal at about 10½ hours. I was early for my feed time of about 2 ½ hours so just turned my heat off and continued to cold smoke. Turned heat back on last hour to warm her up. Smoked this with mesquite and apple. This pig was one big pile of bones when the folks got done with it. I would like to add that there was probably 15 to 20 types of salads brought to this feed, and I being a pretty good guy also made them Dannys Dirty Rice dressing. This stuff was so good with the pork I had 5 requests from the ladys for the reciepe, not bad. Danny that dirty rice is a hit here, and thank you again for the reciepe.Here's my injection:

Simmer together the day before injection then reheat and let cool once again then inject. Basted hog with alittle red wine vinegar,pineapple juice and olive oil. Have some of your favorite BBQ sauce made and let them brush alittle on the pork if they like.
