Preparation:
Simmer together the day before injection then reheat and let cool once again then inject. Basted hog with a little red wine vinegar, pineapple juice and olive oil. Have some of your favorite BBQ sauce made and let them brush a little on the pork if they like.
Started out with a 164 pounds pig on the hoof. Imagine dressed out and without the head was 100 to 110 pounds. Injected the pig 26 hours before smoking. I cooked this pig at 235F and was hitting 160F internal at about 10 1/2 hours. I was early for my feed time of about 2 1/2 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. |
