Don’t let your guests go hungry, make sure to purchase the right size of pig for your event and aim to allow at least 1lb raw weight per person. A 100lb Pig will yield approximately 45/50lb of cooked meat.
-
Don't let you pig fall in the fire - ensure that it is securely attached to the roasting pole. With strong clamps including through the spine, avoid using chicken wire and batons.
-
Have an adequate heat source to cook your pig to a safe temperature of 72 deg C in time to feed your guests, ensure that you do not make anybody ill. Roasting over open coals can take one hour or more for every 10lb of meat.
-
You'll need a strong powerful motor to ensure even cooking of your pig: avoid under cooked meat on the inside and burnt wasted meat and inedible skin.
-
Don't make a mess at the party, spilt grease on your deck will not go down well, ensure that you have a large tray to carve up your pig and contain the meat juices.
