Pulled the porker at 190* oik-ternal temp. Flipped it off the grate after premeditating the flip.The flip Went off ,without a hitch...eh Foiled one hour on a super huge cutting board. Pulled and served. I think this is one of the best pieces of pork I have ever had. And a crate load of fun too!! I am going to bury my head in a pillow! I'll edit this in the morn., with the full info.

Be fair - they made more than just the one sandwich
Personally I'd have been tempted to abscond with a whole leg and find somewhere quiet to gnaw it in peace lol

Killer pig roast! Great pics as usual. It looks like you guys had a blast.

[Uncle-Honky]

Careful with that needle! LOL... The heat is on I see... Did you concentrate it toward the ends of the pig?

We did concentrate the heat at the ends of the pit. Looks like it was directly under it, but it wasn't. When I tossed some preburnt log and coals it may have rolled farther. Just under the hams and shoulders.

After my family came and chowed down. They said the same thing Alex. I think that is a great idea. That one is next for sure. I will look into the availability of the lamb, for the grate!!

I left the tail on. When it was done resting, I gave that tail a light tug. Tail came out with a hunk 'o meat on it that was to die for. Friggin' "Pigsicle" We laid it meat side down on this huge cutting board I had prepared for us, when it rested. Went to pull it over por pig pickins and the meat just fell out like a bushel of juicy pork. Holy pile of pig pickins. The buns were there for if ya wanted a sammie or not. Some went with piles of pork only. This had to be the best damn Pork I have ever put in my mouth. Friggin temps dropped Friday EARLY morning to 'bout 25* Therma pen developed condensation on the battery and told be the grate temp was -17 * Yeah...uh Ok took it inside warmed it up and wala it was game on again! I would like to personally thank all yall for hanging out with us and for all the great info we shared to get to this point!! Kick ass party and a great start to a New Year!
Thank you for checkin out our roast! More pics to upload and I will post them as soon as I get them

Pig came off the racks at about 2:30 pm at 190* in the hams. Rested 45 mins unfoiled and dug in at 155* internal temp.











This is the "Pigsicle" yummy

Drunken fun.....
