do you butterfly the pig and dress it out or buy ready to smoke?

Looks great, I do a 270#(alive) one every year for our town on the 4th of July.  I buy it on the 3rd, butcher, scald it, inject it, tie on wire rack and then put it on the block oven about 3:30 am on the 4th and keep at 225 deg.  It is 170 deg. clear through by 11:30am  Take it off and let it rest for a half hour and then serve.  I would sure like to try some of your 20 hr slow cook.

when I take the pig to butcher I have them split the spine but not cut through the meat I inject it with about a half gallon all over the pig I put it on belly down and I cook slow about 225 for 20 hours when done the cut up part is very easy because the pig falls apart just take the skin off the bones pull out and just serve right off the grill it is very moist and tender and feeds a lot of people

also if you cook this way pull the tenderloins out and eat them while your cooking they are the only part of the pig that over cook!

Do you raise large black hog?

I've been looking into this breed to raise.

I raise Berkshire pigs but I can get you in touch with some large blacks if you would like

Everyone is welcome, it is a potluck so bring a side dish if you can.  We do it every 4th.
