Howdy folks...

I grilled my first whole pig yesterday on my rotisserie pig roaster at a friends birthday party.

Looks like "Babe" finally got what it deserved...

Okay, since youre propably interested in the "in between" also, heres some more pic(g)s.

The pig was about 45 pounds and was seasoned inside with a mix of

-herbs de Provence
-minced garlic
-minced onion
-olive oil
-lemon juice
-kosher salt

I also injected some of the mixture into the hams, shoulders and neck.
Seasoned the outside with lots of kosher salt and later on mopped it a couple of times with the spice mixture.
Then i cooked it for about 5-6 hours over briquettes, lump charcoal and wood.

The skin turned out to be absolutely fantastic, i had never before had such a crispy crackling skin on a pork roast or a whole pig cooked by someone else.
The meat was also very juicy and tender and the marinade fit right in there.
