Just learned this weekend that my local Cash and Carry offers whole pigs. I'm gonna get a 25 pounder (head included--keep that Jarvis lunatic away from me) and cook it on the smoker.

Be careful with it, V. Cooking a whole pig can be hard to do safely.

I've seen it done with the coals on a tray above the splayed out little feller. Slow cook for a long time, flip him, and the other side doesn't take very long. Delishioso!

A buddy of mine butterflys and sandwiches the pig/deer/goat/whatever between rebar, and flips 'em that-a-way.

another trip to Cash and Carry this morning, and I went into the meat cooler and found a 20 pound cut of beef (beef chuck roll or something). I really only wanted to check it for size. Twenty-fiive pounds of animal will easily fit into my smoker/grill. So now I just need to find some people to cook for, because there's no way I can eat twenty pounds of pork, and I can't freeze it, no more room in the freezer. I'll cook it up and give it away.

Yes, there will be pictures.

yeah, I can't get one that isn't actually butchered. I've no interest in buying one that isn't dressed out.

We once did that with the Christmas turkey. Y'know, just joking about during prep. Then we dropped a few tabs and none of us were entirely comfortable tucking in to Janice.

Dad bought one of these in Yarmouth.
His favourite mixers do not come in mini-cans or in 500ml bottles, just in 330ml cans.
And he does not want to drink a whole can. He's in his 72nd year - liquid weighs heavily on his old bladder!

He's made up.
