INSTRUCTIONS
Notes & Guidelines
About 1 lb / person when selecting a pig to roast. 1.5 or more if no other food
About 7.5 min. / lb slow roasted over embers.
Hams & shoulders at 165 for doneness.
Charcoal: 30 lbs. + 10 lbs. / hour of cooking + 10 lbs. extra.
Keep pig under 40 while brining and setting
Brine Solution: 1 oz of salt for every 20 oz of liquid.
Remember: 10 lb bag of ice = 1.25 gal of water.
Brine for 24 hr., then pat dry and set for 24 hr.
Patting pig dry after brining allows skin to crisp easier.
Setting pig after brining allows salt to evenly distribute and evenly season deep tissue meat.
No more extra salt after brining. More salt will make pig too salty.
Baste often. Every 15 - 30 min.
No extra sugar while basting. Sugar burns easily and too much will burn the pig
Lower pig and add fire to crisp skin after cooking time.
Rest for 30 min.
